Three-dimensional quantification of cellular traction forces and mechanosensing of thin substrata by fourier traction force microscopy.
We introduce a novel three-dimensional (3D) traction force microscopy (TFM) method motivated by the recent discovery that cells adhering on plane surfaces exert both in-plane and out-of-plane traction stresses. We measure the 3D deformation of the substratum on a thin layer near its surface, and inp...
