In this article, a review of a series of applications of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and
fluidic Atomic Force Microscopy (fluidic AFM, hereafter fluidFM) in single‐cell studies is …

The regulation of cell growth has fundamental physiological, biotechnological and medical
implications. However, methods that can continuously monitor individual cells at sufficient …

The way proliferating animal cells coordinate the growth of their mass, volume, and other
relevant size parameters is a long-standing question in biology. Studies focusing on cell …

The physical properties of a single cell, such as mass, volume, and density, are important
indications of the cell's metabolic characteristics and homeostasis. Precise measurement of …

Quantitative phase microscopies (QPMs) enable label-free, non-invasive observation of
living cells in culture, for arbitrarily long periods of time. One of the main benefits of QPMs …

Reliably measuring small mass changes at the single-cell level is challenging. In this
manuscript, we report the use of microfluidic cantilevers in liquid with sub-nanogram scale …

Cell proliferation is a central process in tissue development, homeostasis and disease. Yet
how proliferation is regulated in the tissue context remains poorly understood. Here, we …

目的探讨基底硬度与形貌协同对大鼠骨髓间充质干细胞(rat bone mesenchymal stem cells,
rBMSCs) 形态, 增殖以及成骨分化的影响. 方法分别在硬度为3.5 MPa, 槽, 脊宽为0.3 μm …

Cell migration plays a significant role in many biological activities, yet the physical
mechanisms of cell migration are still not well understood. In this study, a continuum physics …

The size and growth of a cell can be described by three related physical parameters:
volume, density and mass. All the three are coupled to numerous biochemical reactions and …
