## Abstract Cell adhesion to material surfaces is one of the fundamental phenomena of cellular response to implanted devices. Controlling the strength, dynamics, and mechanics of cell adhesion offer opportunities for designing novel biomaterials for tissue engineering and biotechnology. Many techni

We have developed a homogeneous high-capacity assay format for measuring integrin-and selectin-dependent cell binding to immobilized ligand using V-well microtiter plates. 2,7-Bis(2-carboxyethyl)-5-(and-6)-carboxylfluorescence, acetoxymethylester-labeled cells are added to ligand-coated V-shaped mic
Information about the bursting strength of animal cells is essential if the mechanisms of cell damage in bioreactors are to be understood, and if cell mechanical properties are ever to be related to cell structure and physiology. We have developed a novel cell compression technique that makes it pos
The rheology of cells and sub-cellular structures, such as focal adhesions, are important for cell form and function. Here we describe electromagnetic pulling cytometry (EPC), a technique to analyze cell rheology by applying dynamic tensional forces to ligand-coated magnetic microbeads bound to cell
