Real-time fluorescence and deformability cytometry — flow cytometry goes mechanics
Cell mechanical characterization has recently approached the throughput of conventional flow cytometers. However, this very sensitive, label-free approach still lacks the specificity of molecular markers. Here we combine real-time 1D-imaging fluorescence and deformability cytometry (RT-FDC) to merge the two worlds in one instrument — opening many new research avenues. We demonstrate its utility...
متن کاملSingle-platelet nanomechanics measured by high-throughput cytometry
Haemostasis occurs at sites of vascular injury, where flowing blood forms a clot, a dynamic and heterogeneous fibrin-based biomaterial. Paramount in the clot's capability to stem haemorrhage are its changing mechanical properties, the major drivers of which are the contractile forces exerted by platelets against the fibrin scaffold. However, how platelets transduce microenvironmental cues to me...
متن کاملA high throughput approach for analysis of cell nuclear deformability at single cell level
Various physiological and pathological processes, such as cell differentiation, migration, attachment, and metastasis are highly dependent on nuclear elasticity. Nuclear morphology directly reflects the elasticity of the nucleus. We propose that quantification of changes in nuclear morphology on surfaces with defined topography will enable us to assess nuclear elasticity and deformability. Here...
متن کاملMechanical phenotyping of primary human skeletal stem cells in heterogeneous populations by real-time deformability cytometry.
Skeletal stem cells (SSCs) are a sub-population of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) present in bone marrow with multipotent differentiation potential. A current unmet challenge hampering their clinical translation remains the isolation of homogeneous populations of SSCs, in vitro, with consistent regeneration and differentiation capacities. Cell stiffness has been shown to play an important rol...
متن کاملMapping of Deformation to Apparent Young's Modulus in Real-Time Deformability Cytometry
In experiments with a controlled constant flow rate, the absolute values of E obtained by mapping according to (1) depend on the exact knowledge of the channel cross-section and the viscosity of the surrounding medium. Another potential caveat for correct mapping rises from the pixelation of the image and the influence thereof on the deformation and size value calculated from the object’s conto...
