Micropipette aspiration is a technique of using very fine pipettes to apply a suction pressure to a suspended cell and then monitoring the cell deformation into the pipette to study its mechanical characteristics. In this study, porcine Mesenchymal Stem Cells (pMSCs) from a cell line derived from po...
