- Abstract
- Fluidic force microscopy (FluidFM) is a recent force-controlled pipette technology that enables manipulation of single cells. FluidFM can be used for quantification of forces between single cells, and a novel mode of cell-cell adhesion was uncovered: amyloid-like interactions that mediate homophilic adhesion in the fungal pathogen Candida albicans.
