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

Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Allemand)

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.
