Three-dimensional traction force microscopy: a new tool for quantifying cell-matrix interactions.

The interactions between biochemical processes and mechanical signaling play important roles during various cellular processes such as wound healing, embryogenesis, metastasis, and cell migration. While traditional traction force measurements have provided quantitative information about cell matrix...
