Traditional tumor models cannot perfectly simulate the real state of tumors in vivo, resulting
in the termination of many clinical trials. 3D tumor models' technology provides new in vitro …

Mechanics, as a key physical factor which affects cell function and tissue regeneration, is
attracting the attention of researchers in the fields of biomaterials, biomechanics, and tissue …

We present TFMLAB, a MATLAB software package for 4D (x; y; z; t) Traction Force
Microscopy (TFM). While various TFM computational workflows are available in the …

Traction force microscopy is a methodology that enables to estimate cellular forces from the
measurement of the displacement field of an extracellular matrix (ECM)-mimicking hydrogel …

In the last decade, cellular forces in three-dimensional hydrogels that mimic the extracellular
matrix have been calculated by means of Traction Force Microscopy (TFM). However …

Traction force microscopy (TFM) allows to estimate tractions on the surface of cells when
they mechanically interact with hydrogel substrates that mimic the extracellular matrix …

During sprouting angiogenesis—the growth of blood vessels from the existing vasculature—
endothelial cells (ECs) adopt an elongated invasive form and exert forces at cell–cell and …

BACKGROUND: Orthopedic tractions can be employed in the rehabilitation of patients
suffering from problems affecting the spine, as well as the upper and lower extremities but …

Collagen-based hydrogels are commonly used in mechanobiology to mimic the extracellular
matrix. A quantitative analysis of the influence of collagen concentration and properties on …

The linear superposition principle is one of the most elegant and effective methods to
represent solutions of BVPs in terms of an auxiliary function known as Green's function …
