On-Chip Method to Measure Mechanical Characteristics of a Single Cell by Using Moiré Fringe
We propose a method to characterize the mechanical properties of cells using a robot-integrated microfluidic chip (robochip) and microscopy. The microfluidic chip is designed to apply the specified deformations to a single detached cell using an on-chip actuator probe. The reaction force is simultan...
