Measurement of force generated by living cells
 Lukášová, Veronika ; Skácel, Josef (referee) ; Fohlerová, Zdenka (advisor)
This thesis deals with methods used to measure cell traction forces. In order to study and measure the forces it is important to understand the mechanotransduction process. This is described in the theoretical part of the thesis along with an explanation of the adhesive capacity of cells. Next are presented the methods used to monitor traction forces: collagen contraction, tissue pillars, traction force microscopy in 2D and 3D, and measurements on micro- and nano-pillars. The practical part of the thesis is focused on determining the magnitude of the traction forces, which can be calculated from the knowledge of the pillar deflection and the spring constant of the material. The practical part includes the processing of the light microscope images and the resulting procedure for calculating the magnitude of the traction forces.
