Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The creation and characterization of large‐area ultrathin highly pliable free‐standing PDMS membranes and their application to the study of cellular epithelia is described. The ultra‐thin membranes permitted the straight forward calculation of cell monolayer moduli, derived from measured stress–strain curves. These measurements allowed the unprecedented detection of cellular‐level injury in the epithelia caused by the rupture of cell–cell tight junctions in response to stretching.
