title = "Microinstruments for single cellular studies",
abstract = "A class of MEMS devices for manipulating single living cells and measuring the cell mechanical response is described. They consist of a probe and flexible beams. The probe is used to contact and manipulate the cell and the beams to monitor cell force response. The devices are used to disturb green fluorescent protein-actin transfected fibroblasts to study depolymerization and remodeling of the actin network in the cells in situ.",
