Elastocapillarity at Cell-Matrix Contacts
At cell-matrix contacts, an elastocapillary effect arises in addition to active cell traction. The coexistence of active extracellular traction and other interfacial forces at the contacts blurs their distinctive roles in tissue morphogenesis, wound healing, and cancer metastasis. Here, we first obs...
