Black Dots: Microcontact-Printed, Reference-Free Traction Force Microscopy

2021-08-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Measuring the traction forces produced by cells provides insight into their behavior and physiological function. Here, we developed a technique (dubbed ‘black dots’) that microcontact prints a fluorescent micropattern onto a flexible substrate to measure cellular traction forces without constraining cell shape or needing to detach the cells. To demonstrate our technique, we assessed human platel...
