Fluidic force microscopy (FluidFM), which combines atomic force microscopy (AFM) with
microchanneled cantilevers connected to a pressure controller, is a technique allowing the …

Giardia duodenalis, Cryptosporidium spp. and Toxoplasma gondii are protozoan parasites
that have been highlighted as emerging foodborne pathogens by the Food and Agriculture …

At present, there are few technologies which enable the detection, identification and viability
analysis of protozoan pathogens including Cryptosporidium and/or Giardia at the single (oo) …

Water quality monitoring of drinking, waste, fresh and, seawaters is of great importance to

This review describes the potential of FluidFM technology and its implementation in studying
the interface between a single cell (prokaryote or eukaryote) and a surface or a surrounding …

The FluidFM enables the immobilization of single cells on a hollow cantilever using relative
underpressure. In this study, we systematically optimize versatile measurement parameters …

The mechanics of cancer cell adhesion to its neighboring cells, homotypic or heterotypic,
have significant impact on tumor progression and metastasis. Intercellular adhesion has …

The protozoa, Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium spp., are preeminent members of the
Apicomplexa parasitic phylum in large part due to their public health and economic impact …
