Engineering experts have proposed a novel technique to measure the cell traction force field and tackle the research gap. The interdisciplinary research team used single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers ...

The project, led by Professor Zhiqin Chu from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), and Professor Qiang Wei from Sichuan University, applied ...

Visualizing nanoscale events like cell-ECM binding is hindered by the diffraction limits imposed by conventional microscopy, which has led us to develop a novel photochemistry for facile expansion ...

Mechanics plays a fundamental role in cell biology. Cells navigate these mechanical forces to explore their environments and sense the behaviour of surrounding living cells. The physical ...
