Characterization of the strain-rate–dependent mechanical response of single cell–cell junctions
Amir Monemian Esfahani,Jordan Rosenbohm,Bahareh Tajvidi Safa,Nickolay V. Lavrik,Grayson Minnick,Quan Zhou,Fang Kong,Xiaowei Jin,Eunju Kim,Ying Liu,Yongfeng Lu,Jung Yul Lim,James K. Wahl,Ming Dao,Changjin Huang,Ruiguo Yang,Ruiguo Yang +16 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a single-cell adhesion micro tensile tester (SCAµTT) using two-photon polymerization and displacement-controlled tensile tests of individual pairs of adherent epithelial cells with a mature cell-cell attachment was designed and fabricated.
A multi-material platform for imaging of single cell-cell junctions under tensile load fabricated with two-photon polymerization
Jordan Rosenbohm,Grayson Minnick,Bahareh Tajvidi Safa,Amir Monemian Esfahani,Xiaowei Jin,Haiwei Zhai,Nickolay V. Lavrik,Ruiguo Yang +7 more
TL;DR: The design and fabrication of a new SCAμTT platform that mitigates autofluorescence is reported and its capability in imaging a single cell pair as its mutual junction is stretched is demonstrated, allowing to observe junction rupture and F-actin retraction while simultaneously recording the accumulation of over 800 kPa of stress in the junction.

Photografting of Surface‐Assembled Hydrogel Prepolymers to Elastomeric Substrates for Production of Stimuli‐Responsive Microlens Arrays
John M. Kapitan,Grayson Minnick,Brennan P. Watts,Nengjian Huang,Mark A. Rose,Ruiguo Yang,Stephen A. Morin +6 more
TL;DR: A general approach for the facile production of covalently attached, ordered arrays of microscale hydrogels (microgels) on silicone supports is reported, directly applicable to the fabrication of adaptive optofluidic systems and can be further applied to advanced functional systems such as soft actuators and robotics, and 3D cell culture technologies.
