DEVICE FOR ASSESSING MECHANICAL STRAIN INDUCED IN OR BY CELLS

摘要

A inicrofluidic device comprising a inicrofluidic network is described. The device comprises a base, a inicrofluidic channel and a cover, and the base comprises a diaphragm forming at least part of an inner surface of the inicrofluidic channel. The device finds use in methods for assessing mechanical strain induced in or by cells, such methods also being described.
