A detailed protocol for cell force measurement by traction force microscopy
Cellular traction forces (CTFs) are generated by adherent cells and involved in regulating migration, morphology, and homeostasis. Accurate measurement of CTFs is crucial for understanding fundamental biological processes such as morphogenesis, angiogenesis, and wound healing. However, directly meas...
