Optogenetic control of actin crosslinker length reveals a mechanical basis for cortical symmetry breaking

This study uses optogenetic control of actin crosslinker length to show how different crosslinker lengths affect cortical mechanics and drive cell polarization or delamination.

Impact of chemotherapy on leukocyte stiffness -A longitudinal RT-DC study in a breast cancer patient

This study uses RT-DC to track changes in leukocyte stiffness during chemotherapy in a breast cancer patient, finding that paclitaxel alters granulo/monocyte and lymphocyte stiffness.

Cell viscosity influences hematogenous dissemination and metastatic extravasation of tumor cells

This study shows that tumor cell viscosity affects their ability to circulate and extravasate, influencing metastasis.

Quantitative phase deformability cytometry (QP-DC) for precise and clinically relevant multiparametric immune cell profiling

QP-DC combines QPI and deformability cytometry to measure biophysical and mechanical properties of immune cells, revealing LPS-induced changes in neutrophils and heterogeneity in SLE patients.

High-Throughput Mechanomic Screening Reveals Novel Regulators of Single-Cell Mechanics

This study uses high-throughput mechanomic screening to identify 80 genes regulating single-cell mechanics, including novel regulators, using RT-FDC technology.
