Unbinding of adhesive vesicles
TL;DR: In this article, Brochard-Wyart et al. considered a vesicle bound on one side to a pipette and sticking on the other side on a flat plate and presented an extension of the Evans theory for these processes.

Enforced Detachment of Red Blood Cells Adhering to Surfaces: Statics and Dynamics
TL;DR: The mechanical strength of adhesion and the dynamics of unbinding of red blood cells to solid surfaces are investigated and it is demonstrated that the separation energy could be precisely derived from the measure of rupture forces and the cell shape.

Adhesion and membrane tension of single vesicles and living cells using a micropipette-based technique.
TL;DR: The adhesion of a model cell, a liposome, and a living HeLa cell to a substrate measured with a novel experimental technique enables the measurement of dynamics such as changes in the adhesion, elasticity, and membrane tension with time.

Adhesion forces between individual ligand-receptor pairs.
TL;DR: Under conditions that allowed only a limited number of molecular pairs to interact, the force required to separate tip and bead was found to be quantized in integer multiples of 160 +/- 20 piconewtons for biotin and 85 +/- 15 piconewstons for iminobiotin.
