Consensus Statement on Brillouin Light Scattering Microscopy of Biological Materials
Pierre Bouvet, Carlo Bevilacqua, Yogeshwari Ambekar +41
Brillouin Light Scattering (BLS) spectroscopy is a non-invasive, non-contact, label-free optical technique that can provide information on the mechanical properties of a material o…
Model of inverse bleb growth explains giant vacuole dynamics during cell mechanoadaptation
Andrea Cairoli, Alice Spenlehauer, Darryl R Overby +1
Cells can withstand hostile environmental conditions manifest as large mechanical forces such as pressure gradients and/or shear stresses by dynamically changing their shape. Such…
Detection of Proteoglycan Loss from Articular Cartilage using Brillouin Microscopy, with Applications to Osteoarthritis
Pei-Jung Wu, Maryam Imani Masouleh, Daniele Dini +4
The degeneration of articular cartilage (AC) occurs in osteoarthritis (OA), which is a leading cause of pain and disability in middle-aged and older people. The early disease relat…
Brillouin microscopy, what is it really measuring?
Pei-Jung Wu, Irina Kabakova, Jeffrey Ruberti +5
Brillouin microscopy measures compressibility, but is being increasingly used to assess stiffness of cells and tissues. Using hydrogels with tunable properties, we demonstrate that…
