This paper introduces hyperbolic microchannels for high-throughput viscoelastic measurement of cells and soft particles, showing accurate recovery of mechanical properties under controlled stress.

This paper introduces a microfluidic method to measure viscoelastic properties of suspended cells using shear flow deformation cytometry and demonstrates cell cycle-dependent rheological behavior.

This paper introduces FOB microscopy to measure sub-cellular density and mechanics with fluorescence specificity, revealing differences between nucleoplasm and cytoplasm.

This study shows that 3D microenvironment stiffness affects tumor spheroid growth and mechanics through p21 and ROCK pathways.

The paper develops PAAm bead sensors to measure cell-scale stress in zebrafish embryos and uses COMPAX to detect stress patterns during development.

This paper presents standardized poly-acylamide microgel beads as mechanical probes for cell mechanics, showing they can be calibrated to mimic cell elasticity and used for cross-comparison of measurement techniques.

This paper introduces RT-FDC, combining real-time fluorescence imaging with deformability cytometry to enable label-free, high-throughput mechanical and molecular cell analysis.
