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…
