Figure 2. Traction forces resulting from nanotopographic structures on cell membranes. (A) Flat micropost array, which is flexible under cellular traction and can be used to detect the cellular traction force. (B) Microposts with nanopillar. (C and D) Cell exerts traction force that induces deflection of the micropost array and the microposts with nanopillar. (E-G) Cells exert greater traction force on the microposts with nanopillars than the Flat microposts. This figure is quoted with permission from Cheng et al.[40].
