TL;DR: Future research should improve CTFM methods such that they can automatically track dynamic CTFs, thereby providing new insights into cell motility in response to altered biological conditions, and research effort should be devoted to developing novel experimental and theoretical methods for determiningCTFs in three-dimensional matrix, which better reflects physiological conditions than 2D substrate used in current CTFm methods.

TL;DR: The effects of various mechanical loading conditions on gene regulation in fibroblasts are reviewed and several mechanotransduction mechanisms are discussed.

TL;DR: This paper presents a new approach for the traction force microscopy (TFM) method which determines traction forces exerted by adherent cells on a thin, elastic polyacrylamide gel embedded with fluorescent microbeads, which is free from the infinite half-space approximation adopted by existing TFM methods.

TL;DR: In this article, a finite element procedure that was capable of providing reasonable estimates of cutting forces and, at the same time, capturing the essential characteristics of the fragmentation process was developed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the error introduced by this assumption, using three idealized lumped-mass models for a dam and showed that when the predominant frequency of input motion lies in the proximity of the fundamental frequency of the dam, the slip based upon the decoupling assumption exceeds the exact value.
