Cell-Cell Separation Device: measurement of intercellular detachment forces.

The paper introduces a microstructured device to measure intercellular detachment forces and external stresses in adherent cells.

Hexanematic crossover in epithelial monolayers depends on cell adhesion and cell density

This study investigates how cell adhesion and density influence the hexanematic crossover in epithelial monolayers, showing its dependence on these factors.

Epithelia are multiscale active liquid crystals

This study shows that epithelial layers exhibit both nematic and hexatic liquid crystal order, with nematic dominance at large scales and hexatic at small scales, using MDCK cells.

Single cell micro-pillar-based characterization of endothelial and fibroblast cell mechanics

This study measures traction force profiles of endothelial and fibroblast cells using a micropillar-based assay, revealing differences in their mechanical properties.

Characterization of Cell-Induced Astigmatism in High-Resolution Imaging.

The paper characterizes cell-induced astigmatism in high-resolution imaging and shows that nuclear astigmatism can cause significant positional inaccuracies.

Hypergravity affects Cell Traction Forces of Fibroblasts.

This study investigates how hypergravity affects cell traction forces in fibroblasts, finding a decrease at low gravity and an increase at higher gravity, linked to cytoskeletal changes.
