Abstract
⺠Magnetoresistive sensing of cell spreading and particle phagocytosis demonstrated. ⺠Cells uptaking particles saturate at a smaller spreading area than reference cells. ⺠Difference in spreading area accounts for required membrane area for phagocytosis. ⺠Sensor signal leads to average bead-to-surface distance of 120 nm after uptake. ⺠Uptake efficiency of spreading cells is 4 times higher compared to confluent cells.
