Filed:

Dec 5, 2019

Appl. No.:

16/705064

Inventors:

- Los Angeles CA, US
Jae Youn Hwang - Los Angeles CA, US
Nan Sook Lee - Pasadena CA, US
K. Kirk Shung - Monterey Park CA, US
Andrew C. Weitz - Pasadena CA, US

International Classification:

G01N 33/50

Abstract:

A method of determining invasion potential of a tumor cell includes exposing a tumor cell to an activity sensor; after exposing the tumor cell to the activity sensor, stimulating the tumor cell to cause a response in the cell that is reported by the activity sensor; detecting the level of response after stimulation of the tumor cell; and determining the invasion potential of the tumor cell based on the response. A system for determining the invasion potential of a tumor cell includes a sample stage that supports the tumor cell; a stimulator that focuses energy on the tumor cell to stimulate the tumor cell; and an imaging apparatus that observes an effect of the beam on the tumor cell.
