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…
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…
