Cytomass monitor ¿ a new, nanotechnology based tool to accurately measure cell mass

Abstract (German)

Cells tightly regulate mass or volume which are fundamental for development, homeostasis and disease. Current tools can only accurately (1%) determine volume of spherical suspended cells. We have shown the feasibility to measure mass and volume of even single adherent cells at 0.1% accuracy and 0.001 s temporal resolution. In the proposed project the lab model will be technically optimized to address a number of pertinent biological problems and to make the approach for commercialization.
