Cytokinesis of Bovine Pulmonary Arterial Endothelial Cell (BPAEC)

Tawhid Ezaz, Prof. Huseyin Sehitoglu

We measured the traction force generated by Bovine Pulmonary Arterial Endothelial Cell (BPAEC) during the abscission stage of cytokinesis.

We also investigate mechanical properties of cell during this stage like prestress, strain energy exerted by the cell on substrate by integrin molecule.

Our result shows the spatial and temporal distribution of traction force during cytokinesis.
