Protocol
Node-Pore Sensing for Characterizing Cells and Extracellular Vesicles
Node-Pore Sensing, NPS, is an extremely versatile and powerful technique for the analysis of cells and the detection of extracellular vesicles (EVs). NPS involves measuring the modulated current pulse caused b...

Open AccessCharacterizing cellular mechanical phenotypes with mechano-node-pore sensing
The mechanical properties of cells change with their differentiation, chronological age, and malignant progression. Consequently, these properties may be useful label-free biomarkers of various functional or c...

Emerging Engineering Strategies for Studying the Stem Cell Niche
Stem cell niches are discrete anatomical microenvironments that present a rich collection of extrinsic factors to govern stem cell behavior. In particular, these niche signals—including soluble cues, extracell...

A quantum leap for electronics
If electronic devices are to be shrunk from the current micrometre length scale all the way down to the single-atom or molecule scale, we need to know how such tiny constructions will behave. Electrical measur...
