Mechanical Softening of Vero Cells Induced by an Attenuated Measles Vaccine Virus
Alexander Einschuetz Lopez, Johanna Bacher, Luis N. Ponce-Gonzalez +1
Quantitative characterization of biophysical alterations caused by viral infection remains at an early stage. In this study, we examined the mechanical response of Vero cells after…
The stiffness of elastomeric surfaces influences the mechanical properties of endothelial cells
Jagoba Iturri, Julia Miholich, Spela Zemljic +3
Optimal characterization of the mechanical properties of both cells and their surrounding is an issue of major interest. Indeed, cell function and development are strongly influenc…
A probabilistic model for crystal growth applied to protein deposition at the microscale
V. J. Bolós, R. Benítez, A. Eleta-López +1
A probabilistic discrete model for 2D protein crystal growth is presented. This model takes into account the available space and can describe growing processes of different nature…
Stress relaxation and creep experiments with the atomic force microscope: a unified method to calculate elastic moduli and viscosities of biomaterials (and cells)
Susana Moreno-Flores, Rafael Benitez, Maria dM Vivanco +1
We show that the atomic force microscope can perform stress relaxation and creep compliance measurements on living cells. We propose a method to obtain the mechanical properties of…
Stress relaxation microscopy (STREM): Imaging mechanical force decay in cells
Susana Moreno-Flores, Rafael Benitez, Maria dM Vivanco +1
We have developed a novel scanning probe-based methodology to study cell biomechanics. The time dependence of the force exerted by the cell surface on a scanning probe at constant…
On the lipid-bacterial protein interaction studied by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation, transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy
Mihaela Delcea, Susana Moreno-Flores, Dietmar Pum +2
The interaction between the bacterial S-protein SbpA on different types of lipid membranes has been studied using atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and qua…
