Photoelasticity-based evaluation of cellular contractile force for phenotypic discrimination of vascular smooth muscle cells

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) have two distinct phenotypes: contractile and synthetic. The major difference between these phenotypes lies in the magnitude of the contractile force produced by the cell. Although traction force microscopy (TFM) is often used to evaluate cellular contractile for...
