摘要

In article number 1700705, Aram J. Chung and co-workers report a novel inertial microfluidic cell stretcher capable of characterizing large populations of single-cell deformability near real-time in a fully automated manner. This study opens up a new path to practically measure large populations of single-cell quantitative mechanical properties on-the-fly with high statistical significances, enabling actual usage in clinical and biophysical studies.
