Inertial sensing of water content in tumor spheroids

This paper measures water content in tumor spheroids using a steel tube resonator, achieving <1% precision error and detecting inter-spheroid variability and responses to kinase inhibition.

Reconstructing physiological oxygen gradients reveals the role of hypoxia in colon epithelial organization

The paper quantifies oxygen gradients in the intestine and recreates them ex vivo to study hypoxia's role in epithelial organization.

Buoyant mass reveals distinct T cell states predictive of checkpoint response

The paper uses buoyant mass to identify distinct T cell states that predict response to immune checkpoint therapy in melanoma patients.

Plasma membrane folding enables constant surface area-to-volume ratio in growing mammalian cells

The paper shows that mammalian cells maintain a constant surface area-to-volume ratio as they grow by increasing plasma membrane folding.
