Investigation of traction patterns and forces of single quiescent and migratory keratinocytes using a novel cell traction force microscopy technique

Keratinocyte traction forces play a crucial role in wound healing. The aim of this study was to develop a novel cell traction force (CTF) transducer system based on cholesteryl ester liquid crystals (LC). The CTF microscopy system is used to analyse the traction force patterns of quiescent and migra...
