Review on Cell Mechanics: Experimental and Modeling Approaches (2013, methodology): “These studies found that this model was able to predict the spatial distribution of traction forces elicited by previous experiments [16,386,398,543].”
Coupling biochemistry and mechanics in cell adhesion: a model for inhomogeneous stress fiber contraction (2007, background): “Recently force generation has been addressed in more detail in a model for whole cell contractility and stress fiber formation [31, 32].”
A bio-mechanical model for coupling cell contractility with focal adhesion formation (2008, methodology): “…2007) that accurately predicts a large number of observations including: (i) the scaling of forces generated by cells on a bed of microneedles (Deshpande et al., 2007); (ii) the sensitivity of the contractile response to the stiffness of the substrate (Deshpande et al., 2006), and (iii) the…”
Physics of adherent cells (2013, methodology): “A detailed FEM-model integrating mechanical and biochemical aspects has been developed that is able to explain many details of cell adhesion (Deshpande et al., 2006, 2007; McGarry et al., 2009; Pathak et al., 2008).”
