    Relevant numerical techniques, which have been done with the help of MATLAB routines, are applied to solve the arising optimization problem and to find the optimum parameters of the TMD. For a given mass ratio, µ, one can assume different values of the frequency ratio, f, and for each frequency ratio assuming a range of damping factor ζ2 of the TMD and estimate the optimum parameters that minimize a certain desired output. Fig. 8 is an example of the numerical optimization conducted to estimate the

    Integrative Study of Ligand Density, MMP Activity and Matrix Stiffness on 2D Substrates Introduction Cancer cells’ ability to migrate and metastasize to other organs and tissues in the body is primarily responsible for disease mortality. Cell migration is caused by a cascade of biophysical processes that interact to give rise to metastatic behavior. Four key biophysical properties involved in cell migration are adhesion, contractility, cytoskeletal polymerization and matrix degradation. Independently
