Increasing evidence has shown that living cells respond to mechanical stimuli not only mechanically but also biochemically. But how they respond to mechanical stimuli and the mechanisms through which they transduce the mechanical stimuli into biological responses remain largely unclear. In this research, novel versatile and flexible microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors were developed for studying mechanical response of single living cells. These sensors measure cell force response in the range of one nano newton to one micro newton, which is largely inaccessible for the current...
