Development of a novel cell traction force transducer based on cholesteryl ester liquid crystals: characterisation, quantification and evaluation of a cholesteryl ester liquid crystal based single cell force transducer system

In biomechano-transducing, cellular generated tension can be measured by soft substrates based on polymers but these techniques are limited either by spatial resolution or ability to detect localised cell traction forces (CTF) due to their non-linear viscous behaviour under shear rates. A newly...
