A new 3D finite element-based approach for computing cell surface tractions assuming nonlinear conditions.

Advances in methods for determining the forces exerted by cells while they migrate are essential for attempting to understand important pathological processes, such as cancer or angiogenesis, among others. Precise data from three-dimensional conditions are both difficult to obtain and manipulate. Fo...
