A cellular-level study of the pathophysiology is crucial for understanding the mechanisms
behind human diseases. Recent advances in quantitative phase imaging (QPI) techniques …

Red blood cells (RBCs) exhibit a unique deformability, which enables them to change shape
reversibly in response to an external force. The deformability of RBCs allows them to flow in …

Cell membranes are vital to shield a cell's interior from the environment. At the same time
they determine to a large extent the cell's mechanical resistance to external forces. In recent …

Due to its strong correlation with the pathophysiology of many diseases, information about
human red blood cells (RBCs) has a crucial function in hematology. Therefore, measuring …

Most non-communicable diseases involve inflammatory changes in one or more vascular
systems, and there is considerable evidence that unliganded iron plays major roles in this …

Techniques, such as micropipette aspiration and optical tweezers, are widely used to
measure cell mechanical properties, but are generally labor-intensive and time-consuming …

In transfusion medicine, the deformability of stored red blood cells (RBCs) changes during
storage in blood banks. Compromised RBC deformability can reduce the transfusion …

We present a rapid and label-free method for hematologic screening for diseases and
syndromes, utilizing quantitative phase imaging (QPI) and machine learning. We aim to …

The relevance of erythrocyte light microscopy analysis (a well-known haematological
method) is under the spotlight, however there is a place for innovative electron …

We present an optical holographic micro-tomographic technique for imaging both the three-
dimensional structures and dynamics of biological cells. Optical light field images of a …
