Biomechanical Contribution of Cytoskeletal Structures to Traction Forces in Cultured Smooth Muscle Cells
Cellular traction forces were measured by using a microfabricated substrate, particularly exploring how cytoskeletal structures such as actin filaments and microtubules contribute to traction forces. Smooth muscle cells isolated from bovine aortas were cultured and transfected with fluorescence prot...
