摘      要：MEMS technology and devices have proven their importance in facilitating single cell studies by providing quantitative information on cellular and sub-cellular levels. This paper reviews existing techniques for cellular and sub-cellular force measurement and molecular detection using MEMS-based devices. Literature on these techniques and sample devices is reviewed. The significance and limitations of various approaches are analyzed.
