FACTORS INFLUENCING THE DETERMINATION OF CELL TRACTION FORCES.

Factors influencing the determination of cell traction forces.

Methods summarized by the term Traction Force Microscopy are widely used to quantify cellular forces in mechanobiological studies.These methods are inverse, in the sense that forces must be determined such that they comply with a measured displacement field.This study investigates how several experimental and analytical factors, originating in the
