Advanced Microfluidic Device Designed for Cyclic Compression of Single Adherent Cells

Cells in our body experience different types of stress including compression, tension, and shear. It has been shown that some cells experience permanent plastic deformation after a mechanical tensile load was removed. However, it was unclear whether cells are plastically deformed after repetitive co...
