Actin dynamics, architecture, and mechanics in cell motility. (2014, background): “The acto-myosin cell cortex is characterized mechanically by its tension, which can be directly measured by micropipette aspiration, as was proposed a decade ago, where the force needed to suck a small region of the cell surface into a pipette is measured (123).”

Finite Element Simulation of the Micropipette Aspiration of a Living Cell Undergoing Large Viscoelastic Deformation (2005, background): “In the micropipette aspiration experiment, a lower-than-ambient hydrostatic pressure is usually exerted on a circular surface of a cell through a glass micropipette [ 13 ].”

Cell prestress. I. Stiffness and prestress are closely associated in adherent contractile cells. (2002, background): “A model of cell deformation must be invoked to relate raw data to estimates of the cell stiffness, regardless of whether the raw data are obtained from magnetic twisting as described here, micropipette aspiration, cell poking, atomic force microscopy, or tracking microrheology (25, 41, 60, 61).”
Biomechanics and biophysics of cancer cells. (2007, background): “Observations of geometry changes along with appropriate analysis then provide the elastic and viscoelastic responses of the cell, usually by neglecting friction between the cell surface and the inside walls of the micropipette [117, 118 ].”
