The cell, as the most fundamental unit of life, is a microcosm of biology in which the
confluence of nearly all aspects of classical physics (mechanics, statistical physics …

This article reviews the recent developments in microfluidic technologies for in vitro cancer
diagnosis. We summarize the working principles and experimental results of key microfluidic …

In recent years, dielectrophoretic force has been used to manipulate colloids, inert particles,
and biological microparticles, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, cancer …

Biophysical (mechanical and electrical) properties of living cells have been proven to play
important roles in the regulation of various biological activities at the molecular and cellular …

The interplay between the mechanical properties of cells and the forces that they produce
internally or that are externally applied to them play an important role in maintaining the …

The inherent heterogeneity in cell populations has become of great interest and importance
as analytical techniques have improved over the past decades. With the advent of …

The mechanical properties of cells have been shown to be useful markers of cell state by the
biophysics community. Here, I highlight clinical and research problems that this label-free …

This paper presents a microfluidic system for cell type classification using mechanical and
electrical measurements on single cells. Cells are aspirated continuously through a …

Human red blood cells (RBCs) are approximately 8 μm in diameter, but must repeatedly
deform through capillaries as small as 2 μm in order to deliver oxygen to all parts of the …

Cell deformability plays an important role in cellular processes and functions, including cell
growth and differentiation, as well as cell transfer and cell cycle. Measuring deformability at …
