Simulation of Cellular Traction Force Based Deflection of PDMS Micropillars

Jyoti Wala, Debashis Maji, Sandip Dhara, Sreya Das

Abstract

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) micropillars arrays were used to study the deflection of the tips of the micro pillars which is directly proportional to cell-generated traction forces during cell migration and contraction [2]. Present study discusses the effect of cellular traction force over different micropillars geometries with different PDMS compositions which varies the elasticity of micropillars.
