Ultrasound is a versatile and well-established technique using sound waves with
frequencies higher than the upper limit of human hearing. Typically, therapeutic and …

Acoustic tweezers have attracted attention in various fields of cell biology, including in vitro
single-cell and intercellular mechanics. Compared with other tweezing technologies such as …

The viscoelastic parameters of the cell can report on the cell state, cellular processes and
diseases. Cell mechanics strongly rely on the properties of the cytoskeleton, an important …

The acoustic fields and streaming in a confined fluid depend strongly on the viscous
boundary layer forming near the wall. The width of this layer is typically much smaller than …

Using a previously-well-tested numerical model, we demonstrate that good acoustophoresis
can be obtained in a microchannel embedded in an acoustically soft, all-polymer chip by …

This study aimed to automatically classify live cells based on their cell type by analyzing the
patterns of backscattered signals of cells with minimal effect on normal cell physiology and …

Cell deformability is a useful feature for diagnosing various diseases (eg, the invasiveness
of cancer cells). Existing methods commonly inflict pressure on cells and observe changes …

Advancements in diagnostic systems for metastatic cancer over the last few decades have
played a significant role in providing patients with effective treatment by evaluating the …

Acoustic traps are used to capture and handle suspended microparticles and cells in
microfluidic applications. A particular simple and much-used acoustic trap consists of a …

Efforts on quantitative measurements of the interactive forces of red blood cells (RBC) have
been pursued for many years in hopes of a better understanding of hemodynamics and …
