This work reviews the use of atomic force microscopy (AFM) as a tool to investigate oleogels
of edible triglyceride oils. Specific attention is given to those oleogels based on phytosterols …

Semiflexible fiber gels such as collagen and fibrin have unique nonlinear mechanical
properties that play an important role in tissue morphogenesis, wound healing, and cancer …

Microrheology with optical tweezers (MOT) is an all-optical technique that allows the user to
investigate a materials' viscoelastic properties at microscopic scales, and is particularly …

Whispering gallery mode microlasers are known for their high Q-factors, characteristic
emission spectra and sensitivity to local refractive index changes. This sensitivity combined …

Stiffening of tissue is a hallmark of cancer progression, driving invasive phenotypes through
complex interactions between cells and their extracellular matrix (ECM). However, the …

Rheology is a wide-reaching field whose applications are underpinned by a prior
knowledge of the 'viscoelastic'properties of (complex) materials generally employed across …

Optical tweezer have been combined with multiplane microscopy to measure particle
trajectories in three dimensions and to calculate the viscosity of the suspending media in …
