Controllable Dynamic Mechanical Cell Stimulation using Magnetically Actuated Artificial Cilia
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This paper introduces a platform based on magnetic artificial cilia for providing controllable dynamic mechanical stimulation to single cells, suitable for investigating large cell populations and enabling live cell imaging. Proof‐of‐principle experiments show that cell morphology is strongly influenced by the artificial cilia, that cellular forces can
