title = "Enhanced cell stiffness evaluation by two-phase decomposition",
abstract = "This work proposes an enhanced method for cell stiffness evaluation by eliminating the effect from cell viscosity. While the passing time of cell through a μ-channel is used for evaluating cell stiffness in the conventional method, the time includes both the effects of cell stiffness and cell viscosity. The key idea is that we separate the cell motion inside a μ-channel into two phases, the phases of deformation and constant velocity. We evaluate the cell stiffness by focusing on the cell motion in the phase of constant velocity. The results of experimental study are presented and discussed.",
