Dynamic Effective Elasticity of Melanoma Cells under Shear and Elongational Flow Confirms Estimation from Force Spectroscopy

The detection and enrichment of circulating melanoma cells is a challenge, as the cells are very heterogeneous in terms of their biomechanical properties and surface markers. In addition, there is a lack of valid and reliable biomarkers predicting progress and therapeutic response. In this study, we...
