Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of the Viscoelastic Properties of Ovarian Cancer Cells Membranes by Optical Tweezers and Quantitative Phase Imaging
Thompson Lu,Bahman Anvari +1 more
TL;DR: Lu et al. as discussed by the authors measured the viscoelastic properties of the plasma membrane of normal epithelial (IOSE364) and cancerous (SKOV3) ovarian cells by optical tweezers and quantitative phase imaging.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Mechanical characterization of erythrocyte-derived optical microparticles by quantitative phase imaging and optical tweezers
TL;DR: Differences in membrane stiffness suggest that the circulation dynamics of μNETs may be altered as compared to native erythrocytes, and may play an important role in the circulation kinetics and biodistribution of these particles.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Combined Optical Tweezers and Quantitative Phase Imaging for Mechanical Characterization of Ovarian Cells
TL;DR: The results indicate that the bending modulus of ovarian cancer cells is lower than that of non-cancerous cells.
