OverviewThis is the fifth volume of the highly regarded ‘Physics of Cancer (Second Edition)’ series, written with the aim of making very important topics in the physics of cancer visible to the research community. This fifth volume deals with biophysical methods. The first chapter presents the traditional NMR techniques and introduces the relatively new MRE technique for the characterization of cancer cells and tissues. The second chapter provides an overview of magnetic tweezer techniques relevant to cell characterization. The third chapter focusses on the magnetic twisting cytometry techniques. The fourth and fifth chapters discuss the cytoskeletal remodeling dynamics from a biological viewpoint and a physical viewpoint, respectively. The optical tweezer is introduced in the sixth chapter and the optical cell stretcher is discussed in the seventh chapter. In the eighth chapter, microfluidics-based high-throughput cell stretching is discussed and the latest developments are presented.
