Active crystals are highly ordered structures that emerge from the self-organization of motile
objects, and have been widely studied in synthetic 1 , 2 and bacterial 3 , 4 active matter. …

We introduce real-time deformability cytometry (RT-DC) for continuous cell mechanical
characterization of large populations (>100,000 cells) with analysis rates greater than 100 cells/s. …

Cell stiffness is a sensitive indicator of physiological and pathological changes in cells, with
many potential applications in biology and medicine. A new method, real-time deformability …

The measurement of cell stiffness is an important part of biological research with diverse
applications in biology, biotechnology and medicine. Real-time deformability cytometry (RT-DC) …

Mechanochemical processes in thin biological structures, such as the cellular cortex or epithelial
sheets, play a key role during the morphogenesis of cells and tissues. In particular, they …

Histological studies have shown a relatively high iron concentration in the subthalamic
nucleus (STN). T2‐ and T2*‐weighted sequences have previously been used to visualize the …

During gastrulation, physical forces reshape the simple embryonic tissue to form the complex
body plans of multicellular organisms 1 . These forces often cause large-scale asymmetric …

Recent advances in high-resolution imaging techniques and particle-based simulation methods
have enabled the precise microscopic characterization of collective dynamics in various …

The mechanical fingerprint of cells is inherently linked to the structure of the cytoskeleton
and can serve as a label‐free marker for cell homeostasis or pathologic states. How …

The cell cortex, a thin film of active material assembled below the cell membrane, plays a
key role in cellular symmetry-breaking processes such as cell polarity establishment and cell …
