Controlling cell-matrix traction forces by extracellular geometry
Shiladitya Banerjee, M. Cristina Marchetti
We present a minimal continuum model of strongly adhering cells as active contractile isotropic media and use the model to study the effect of the geometry of the adhesion patch in…

Contractile stresses in cohesive cell layers on finite-thickness substrates
Shiladitya Banerjee, M. Cristina Marchetti
Using a minimal model of cells or cohesive cell layers as continuum active elastic media, we examine the effect of substrate thickness and stiffness on traction forces exerted by s…
