Title: Optical-based cell deformability
Usefulness: Optical-based cell deformability
Summary: Method for changing orientation of an object such as cell, bead, colloid and particle (claimed) in executing tissue engineering and colloidal synthesis. Can also be used for blood cell, fetal cell, sickle cell and pollutant.
Novelty: Object's e.g. cell, orientation changing method for e.g. tissue engineering, involves illuminating objects with single beam of electromagnetic radiation sufficient to change orientation of objects from one orientation to another orientation
