Merged summary

TL;DR - Confinement force microscopy (CFM) is a microconfinement method for measuring traction forces from individual cells and cell aggregates in tissue-like spatial environments. It enables dynamic, precise, stable, and tunable confinement during force microscopy.

  • Measures cellular traction forces under controlled spatial confinement.
  • Supports both single cells and multicellular aggregates.
  • Mimics mechanical constraints found in tissue microenvironments.
  • The provided content does not report quantitative performance or experimental results.
