Isometric contraction by fibroblasts and endothelial cells in tissue culture: a quantitative study

We have used an isometric force transducer to study contraction of two types of nonmuscle cells in tissue culture. This method permits the quantitative measurement of contractile force generated by cells of defined type under the influence of external agents while allowing detailed morphological obs...
