  • Mechanical stress response analysis of cells and tissues
    Patent number: 10156561
    Abstract: A method and device are disclosed for inducing mechanical stress in a cellular sample to evaluate mechanotransduction in the cellular sample. In one embodiment, the mechanical stress is induced by generating a microcavitation bubble in the cellular sample using a pulsed energy. The microcavitation bubble creates a microtsunami, which provides a transient, impulsive mechanical stress on the cellular sample, forming a gradient of effects at distances away from the microcavitation bubble.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 31, 2016
    Date of Patent: December 18, 2018
    Assignee: The Regents of The University of California
    Inventors: Elliot L. Botvinick, Vasan Venugopalan, Jonathan Compton, Amy Hellman
