Homeostasis and volume regulation in the Plasmodium falciparum infected red blood cell
… of Plasmodium falciparum infected red blood cells, namely how infected cells retain their integrity for the duration of the parasite asexual reproduction cycle. The volume and shape changes of infected cells were measured and characterized at femtolitre resolution throughout the …

Optical deformability : micromechanics from cell research to biomedicine
… was exploited for the measurement of cellular elasticities with a novel micromanipulation device based on a two-beam fiber-based laser trap, the optical stretcher, which can generate surface forces from 1 pN–1 nN at frequencies ranging from static experiments to several MHz. The …

A Computer-Aided Framework for Cell Phenotype Identification, Analysis and Classification
… to tackle this disease is to first study it at a cellular level. This study aims at identifying various phenotypic traits of these cells in the Dielectrophoresis (DEP) based microfluidic device experimental setup and subsequently classifying the cells from the rest. A general framework for …

Identification of Cell Biomechanical Signatures Using Three Dimensional Isotropic Microstructures
… biology (BioMEMS) enables precise control of the cellular microenvironments and offers high throughput systems. The focus of this research was to develop three dimensional (3-D) isotropic microstructures for comprehensive analysis on cell-substrate interactions. The aim was to investigate whether …

Cancer metastasis and elasticity of microenvironment
… the parent tumor. During metastasis, malignant cells detach from the parent tumor, and spread through circulatory system to invade new tissues. Due to the intrinsic difficulties of predicting and monitoring in vivo metastasis, the physical-chemical mechanisms and parameters within the cellular …
