High-resolution micromechanical measurement in real time of forces exerted by living cells SwierczewskiR HedleyJ RedfernCPF 2015 Cells were cultivated onto a MEMS platform, in-plane deflection of platform due to cell migration measured as function of time and translated into a force measurement. Effect on force due to influence of drugs monitored. 4-parameter logistic (Boltzmann) curves fitted to the data.
