Contactless measurements of the elastic modulus of living cells using thermal fluctuations of atomic force microscope cantilever
Hao Zhang, Zaicheng Zhang, Etienne Harte +2
We present a contactless method for measuring the elastic modulus of living cells (human triple-negative breast cancer, MDA-MB-231) from the thermal fluctuations of an atomic force…
