An ultra-fast mechanically active cell culture substrate

Poulin, A.; Imboden, M.; Sorba, F.; Grazioli, S.; Martin-Olmos, C.; Rosset, S.; et al. (2018)

We present a mechanically active cell culture substrate that produces complex strain patterns and generates extremely high strain rates. The transparent miniaturized cell stretcher is compatible with live cell microscopy ...
Integrated elastomer-based device for measuring the mechanics of adherent cell monolayers

Sorba, F.; Poulin, A.; Ischer, R.; Shea, H.; Martin-Olmos, C. (2019)

Cells in the body collectively sustain mechanical deformations in almost all physiological functions. From the morphogenesis stage, cells'' ability to sustain stress is essential for the body''s well-being. Several pathologies ...
Optimization of thin-film highly-compliant elastomer sensors for contractility measurement of muscle cells

Araromi, O. A.; Poulin, A.; Rosset, S.; Imboden, M.; Favre, M.; Giazzon, M.; et al. (2016)

Test assays capable of providing quantitative characterization of the contraction of cardiac and smooth muscle cells are of great need for drug development and screening. Several methodologies have been proposed for achieving ...
