Abstract
Mechanical stretches on cells increase traction forces. This increase might involve in several cellular events including mechanosensing. Fluidization is a condition often observed in cells which have been stretched with excessive strain. In those cells, mechanical structures are destroyed and cells lose traction forces. In fluidized cells, it is obscure whether mechanosensing could be realized or not. To understand the mechanosesponsibility of fluidized cells, increase of traction forces in fluidized cells were observed with traction force microscopy.
