Cell-generated forces are a key player in cell biology, especially during cellular shape formation, migration, cancer development, and immune response. A new type of label-free smartphone-based electrochemical DNA sensor is developed here for cellular force measurement. When cells apply tension forces to the DNA sensors, the rapid rupture of DNA duplexes allows multiple redox reporters to reach the electrode and generate highly sensitive electrochemical signals. The sensitivity of these portable sensors can be further enhanced by incorporating a CRISPR-Cas12a system. Meanwhile, the threshold force values of these DNA-based sensors can be rationally tuned based on the force application geometries and also DNA intercalating agents. Overall, these highly sensitive, portable, cost-efficient, and easy-to-use electrochemical sensors can be powerful tools for detecting different cell-generated molecular forces.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
