• Review on Cell Mechanics: Experimental and Modeling Approaches (2013, methodology): “This model is based on three key assumptions: (i) low and high affinity integrins coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium, (ii) low affinity integrins within the plasma membrane are mobile, and (iii) the contractile forces generated by stress fibers are in mechanical equilibrium and change the free ene”
