High-resolution assessment of multidimensional cellular mechanics using label-free refractive-index traction force microscopy
Abstract A critical requirement for studying cell mechanics is three-dimensional assessment of cellular shapes and forces with high spatiotemporal resolution. Traction force microscopy with fluorescence imaging enables the measurement of cellular forces, but it is limited by photobleaching and a slo...
