All cells are influenced by mechanical forces. In the brain, force-generating and load-
bearing proteins twist, turn, ratchet, flex, compress, expand and bend to mediate neuronal …

Biophysical (mechanical and electrical) properties of living cells have been proven to play
important roles in the regulation of various biological activities at the molecular and cellular …

The interplay between the mechanical properties of cells and the forces that they produce
internally or that are externally applied to them play an important role in maintaining the …

The inherent heterogeneity in cell populations has become of great interest and importance
as analytical techniques have improved over the past decades. With the advent of …

The mechanical properties of cells have been shown to be useful markers of cell state by the
biophysics community. Here, I highlight clinical and research problems that this label-free …

There exists a conspicuous gap of knowledge about the organization of life at mesoscopic
levels. Ultra-fast coherent diffractive imaging with X-ray free-electron lasers can probe …

This paper presents a microfluidic system for cell type classification using mechanical and
electrical measurements on single cells. Cells are aspirated continuously through a …

This research presents a novel testis-on-a-chip (ToC) platform. Testicular cells are
enzymatically isolated from the seminiferous tubules of sexually immature mice, seeded in a …

Cell deformability plays an important role in cellular processes and functions, including cell
growth and differentiation, as well as cell transfer and cell cycle. Measuring deformability at …

Experimental control over progenitor cell lineage specification can be achieved by
modulating properties of the cell's microenvironment. These include physical properties of …
