Abstract

Cell adhesion Cell-based assay Drug discovery EGFR signaling Energy dissipation Inhibitor screening Inhibitors Label-free QCM-D
The quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) is a highly sensitive, noninvasive, and label-free sensing device. This device is capable of providing real-time monitoring of the properties of complex biological systems, such as cells, in response to environmental stimuli. The unique dissipation monitoring function of the QCM-D has been shown to be able to profile the inhibition of signaling pathways mediated by epidermal growth factor receptors. The QCM-D method has the potential to become an effective sensing platform for drug screening.
