Abstract

Abstract : In article number1700705, 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.
