The paper introduces a TExM cell stretcher that applies isotropic equibiaxial force to achieve 1664% aerial strain for super-resolution imaging, with automated autofocus and tracking.

Tensile stretching of live, unfixed OVCAR8 cells on a fibronectin-functionalized double-network hydrogel expands them about 1.7x linearly, enabling single-cell MALDI metabolite imaging on unmodified commercial instruments.

This paper introduces TExM, a method to super-resolve fixed and live cellular samples by mechanically expanding hydrogels during continuous imaging.

This study investigates how PEG-induced phase separation affects FRET-based crowding sensors, showing that CrH2 forms puncta while CrD does not, and identifies biophysical mechanisms behind the sensor response.
