When animal cells enter mitosis, they round up to become spherical. This shape change is
accompanied by changes in mechanical properties. Multiple studies using different …

Microfluidic detection methods for cell deformability cytometry have been regarded as
powerful tools for single‐cell analysis of cellular mechanical phenotypes, thus having been …

Clinical syndrome coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) induced by severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is characterized by rapid spreading and high mortality …

The mechanical phenotype of a cell is an inherent biophysical marker of its state and
function, with many applications in basic and applied biological research. Microfluidics …

Increased tissue stiffness is a classic characteristic of solid tumors. One of the major
contributing factors is increased density of collagen fibers in the extracellular matrix (ECM) …

Although label-free cell sorting is desirable for providing pristine cells for further analysis or
use, current approaches lack molecular specificity and speed. Here, we combine real-time …

Microfluidic flow is commonly employed in the biological, chemical, or physical analysis of
samples in small fluid volumes because of the typical lack of nonlinear phenomena, with …

The throughput of cell mechanical characterization has recently approached that of
conventional flow cytometers. However, this very sensitive, label-free approach still lacks the …

A major challenge in vaccine delivery is to achieve robust lymph‐node (LN) accumulation,
which can capitalize on concentrated immunocytes and cytokines in LNs to stimulate the …

Blood is arguably the most important bodily fluid and its analysis provides crucial health
status information. A first routine measure to narrow down diagnosis in clinical practice is the …
