| Method |
Primary source [67] abstract: "To investigate the relationship between retrograde flow and traction force generation, [investigators] have transfected keratocytes with GFP-actin and used fluorescent speckle microscopy, to observe speckle flow." Primary source [70] abstract: "Although it is likely that retraction involves a calcium-dependent increase in cytoskeletal contractility, it is not known how the timing, magnitude and localization of contractile forces are organized during retraction. [Investigators] have addressed this question using a new gelatin traction force assay in combination with calcium imaging to determine what changes in cytoskeletal force production accompany calcium-induced retraction." |
| Comments |
P.9 right column top paragraph: "Traction force measurements show that the lamellipodium of keratocytes exerts traction stress, αvr, on the order of 100 Pa and have retrograde flow on the order of about 5μm/min [primary sources], giving α ≈ 10^3 Pa×sμm^−1." |
