A model for estimating traction force magnitude reveals differential regulation of actomyosin activity and matrix adhesion number in response to smooth muscle cell spreading
D. Warren, S. Ahmed, P. Mabeza
This study develops a model to estimate traction force magnitude in vascular smooth muscle cells, showing it is independent of matrix rigidity and linked to spreading and adhesion number.
