光镊在肿瘤研究中的应用
Optical Tweezers in Human Cancers
-
摘要: 光镊用光操控物体,它可以在纳米空间、皮牛顿力和毫秒时间研究从单细胞到单分子的生物过程。光镊能够鉴别肿瘤细胞、操控肿瘤细胞、分析单分子和辅助肿瘤治疗,正深刻改变着肿瘤的研究和治疗。Abstract: Optical tweezers are a means to manipulate objects with light. Optical tweezers can obtain a nanometer space, piconewton force, and a millisecond resolution; thus, they are excellently suited for studying biological processes from the single-cell to the single-molecule level. Optical tweezers can screen and manipulate tumor cells, study single molecule, and monitor cancer treatments. Thus, optical tweezers will promote the progress of cancer research and treatments.
