Contraction Measurements Using Three-Dimensional Fibrillar Collagen Gel Lattices.

James Griffith1, William L Berry2.   

Abstract

The ability of cells to contract is an important feature of many cell types. Methods to quantitate changes in the degree of contraction are important to study how cells respond to stimuli or change due to various pathologies. Here we describe a method of embedding cells in three-dimensional collagen lattices to measure contractile properties of cells in vitro.
