Measurement of local temperature increments induced by cultured HepG2 cells with micro-thermocouples in a thermally stabilized system

Abstract To monitor the temperature distribution of a cell and its changes under varied conditions is currently a technical challenge. A variety of non-contact methods used for measuring cellular temperature have been developed, where changes of local temperature at cell-level and sub-cell-level are...
