A Comprehensive Review of Optical Stretcher for Cell Mechanical Characterization at Single-Cell Level

This paper presents a comprehensive review of the development of the optical stretcher, a powerful optofluidic device for single cell mechanical study by using optical force induced cell stretching. The different techniques and the different materials for the fabrication of the optical stretcher are...
