To curb the high cost of drug development, there is an urgent need to develop more
predictive tissue models using human cells to determine drug efficacy and safety in advance …

Optical forces, generally arising from changes of field gradients or linear momentum carried
by photons, form the basis for optical trapping and manipulation. Advances in optical forces …

Optical forces can be used to manipulate biological and colloidal material in a non-contact
manner. This forms the foundation of a wealth of exciting science, particularly in the fields of …

▪ Abstract Nerve regeneration is a complex biological phenomenon. In the peripheral
nervous system, nerves can regenerate on their own if injuries are small. Larger injuries …

Peripheral nerve injuries that induce gaps larger than 1–2cm require bridging strategies for
repair. Autologous nerve grafts are still the gold standard for such interventions, although …

Optical tweezers (OT) have emerged as an essential tool for manipulating single biological
cells and performing sophisticated biophysical/biomechanical characterizations. Distinct …

Background Low-intensity light can decelerate neurodegenerative disease progression and
reduce amyloid β (Aβ) levels in the cortex, though the cellular and molecular mechanisms by …

We report a novel method for measuring the effective refractive index (RI) of single living cell
using a small integrated chip, which might be an efficient approach for diseases diagnosis …
