Force localization in contracting cell layers
Epithelial cell layers on soft elastic substrates or pillar arrays are commonly used as model systems for investigating the role of force in tissue growth, maintenance, and repair. Here we show analytically that the experimentally observed localization of traction forces to the periphery of the cell...
