Holographic Cell Stiffness Mapping Using Acoustic Stimulation [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Accurate assessment of stiffness distribution is essential due to the critical role of single cell mechanobiology in the regulation of many vital cellular processes such as proliferation, adhesion, migration, and motility. Cell stiffness is one of the fundamental mechanical properties of the cell and is greatly affected by the intracellular tensional ...
