    摘要: A single-cell-based electromechanical method for cancerous state detection including the steps of preparing a suspension of individually suspended biological cells, extracting a single cell from the suspension, holding the extracted single cell from the suspension, measuring a first electrical response of the held single cell, step-wised mechanical aspirating the held single cell to form a mechanically deformed cell, and measuring an electrical response of the held single cell after each step of mechanical aspirating. The cancerous state of the single cell is determined based on the changes in the measured electrical responses.

    摘要: A method for detecting a metastasis state of biological cells is disclosed. The method includes seeding a plurality of biological cells onto an array of electrodes of an electrical cell-substrate impedance sensor (ECIS) by dropping a cell suspension including the plurality of biological cells in a cell culture medium onto the array of electrodes, forming a plurality of cultured biological cells attached onto the array of electrodes by maintaining the ECIS in an incubator, reducing pH value of an extracellular media around the plurality of cultured biological cells to a pH value between 6.2 and 6.7 by dropping an acidic solution onto the array of electrodes, activating an intracellular phenomenon due to reducing pH value of the extracellular media around the plurality of cultured biological cells, monitoring an electrical signal of the plurality of cultured biological cells for a pre-determined period of time, and determining metastasis state of the plurality of biological cells based on the monitored electrical signals. The intracellular phenomenon includes one of autophagy phenomenon in metastatic cells, or cell's proliferation reduction and/or apoptosis in non-metastatic cells. Monitoring the electrical signal of the plurality of cultured biological cells includes applying an electrical voltage to the array of electrodes and extracting a set of time-lapse electrical signals from the array of electrodes. Determining metastasis state of the plurality of biological cells includes identifying a metastatic state for the plurality of biological cells by detecting an increasing trend in the set of time-lapse electrical signals over time, where the increasing trend occurs responsive to activation of the autophagy phenomenon. Determining metastasis state of the plurality of biological cells further includes identifying a non-metastatic state for the plurality of biological cells by detecting a decreasing trend in the set of time-lapse electrical signals over time, where the decreasing trend occurs responsive to activation of the cell's proliferation reduction and/or apoptosis phenomenon.
