Mechanotransduction of cells under physical constraints

Cell motility is a dynamic phenomenon that is essential to biological processes. It is brought about by cell traction forces (CTFs) which are internal tensile forces generated by cells through actomyosin interactions and transmitted to extracellular matrix (ECM) via focal adhesions. In this study, m...
