Biomechanical Characterization at the Cell Scale: Present and Prospects

Biomechanical Characterization at the Cell Scale: Present and Prospects

The rapidly growing field of mechanobiology demands for robust and reproducible characterization of cell mechanical properties. Recent achievements in understanding the mechanical regulation of cell fate largely rely on technological platforms capable of probing the mechanical response of living cel...
