Original Abstract

Living cells sense and respond to mechanical signals through specific mechanisms that generate traction force. The quantification of cell forces using micropillars can be limited by micropillar stiffness which depends on Young´s modulus of material and aspect ratio of pillars, technological limitation of the fabrication, and microcontact printing of proteins. The work shows “top-down” fabrication of a highly ordered array of SiO2/Parylene C micropillars standing on the Si substrate that can be used as a probe to quantify the force generated from cells.
