Abstract

Poly(ethylene glycol) micropillars with gold nanopatterns on top are functionalized with two integrin selective ligands. This platform is a powerful new tool to determine the specific contribution of traction forces involved in cell adhesion mediated by α₅ β₁- and α_vβ₃- integrins. Cells adherent via α₅ β₁-integrins have a tendency to exert higher maximum forces than cells adhering via α_vβ₃- integrins.
