Digital Holographic Microscopy for Measurement of Cellular Refractive Indices
… indicator of cell health and is also central to cellular biomechanics measurements made with optical force instruments. In order to find the index, the DHM records interferograms which quantitatively measures laser light's change in phase as it traverses the cells. These interferograms are then …

Detection of mass, growth rate, and stiffness of single breast cancer cells using micromechanical sensors
… in a cell. These mutations often control the cellular growth and proliferation, a hallmark of cancer, and give rise to many altered biophysical properties. There exists a complex relationship between the behavior of a cell, its physical properties, and its surrounding environment. Knowledge …

Development of a novel micropipette aspiration-based force sensing technique to measure single cell sliding friction
In numerous biological scenarios the motion of cells is tangential to the surface of contact such as in extravasation of leucocytes, blood flow regulation, and cell migration. In these cases, adhesion molecules on the cells form bonds with the substrate upon contact and when the cells propagate, …
