Pattern-based Contractility Screening (PaCS), a reference-free traction force microscopy methodology, reveals contractile differences in breast cancer cells

A. Ghagre, A. Amini, L. K. Srivastava, P. Tirgar, A. Khavari, N. Koushki, A. Ehrlicher

PaCS measures cell contractile work in real-time without complex substrate fabrication, showing higher contractility in metastatic breast cancer cells compared to non-invasive cells.
