Applications of Traction Force Microscopy in Measuring Adhesion Molecule Dependent Cell Contractility
… controlled elastic modulus substrates for single cell traction force microscopy studies. The first section describes the use of EDC/NHS chemistry to convalently link microbeads to the hydrogel matrix for the purpose of performing long-term traction force studies (7 days). The final study uses the …

Microfabrication Approaches for Understanding the Role of Vascular Mechanics in Progressive Diseases
… amyloid beta treatment on vascular smooth muscle cell functional contractility using a single-cell traction force microscopy technique and developed a thin-walled arterial model for growth and remodeling response to mechanical perturbations. We found that amyloid beta induces a reduction in …

Cancer metastasis and elasticity of microenvironment
… the parent tumor. During metastasis, malignant cells detach from the parent tumor, and spread through circulatory system to invade new tissues. Due to the intrinsic difficulties of predicting and monitoring in vivo metastasis, the physical-chemical mechanisms and parameters within the cellular …
