This paper introduces a microfluidic rheometer to measure tumor spheroid mechanics and invasiveness in a physiologically relevant setting, finding that tumor stiffness and viscoelastic properties correlate with invasiveness.

This study uses 3D tomography to show collagen scaffolds exhibit auxetic behavior due to instability under compression, which affects their performance in tissue engineering.

The paper measures the Young's modulus of bacterial cell envelopes in E. coli, V. cholerae, and S. aureus using a microfluidic system and inverse finite element analysis, finding values ranging from 0.12 to 2.06 MPa.
