... are unclear. We developed a methodology for collapsing giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) into supported bilayers in a way that keeps membrane nanodomains stable and enables their imaging. We used a combination of fluorescence and atomic force microscopy (AFM) of this system to uncover how a surprising phase...

... in their elasticities. In this study, we determined the Young’s modulus of hESCs by atomic force microscopy using a pyramidal tip. Using this method we are able to take point measurements of elasticity at multiple locations on a single cell, allowing local variations due to cell structure to be identified. We found...

...S. Tripathy; E. J. Berger Relaxation indentation experiments using atomic force microscopy (AFM) are used to obtain viscoelastic material properties of soft samples. The quasilinear viscoelastic (QLV) model formulated by Fung ( 1972, “Stress Strain History Relations of Soft Tissues in Simple...

...Jason D. Hemmer; Jiro Nagatomi; Scott T. Wood; Alexey A. Vertegel; Delphine Dean; Martine LaBerge A number of recent studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of atomic force microscopy (AFM) for characterization of cellular stress-relaxation behavior. However, this technique’s recent development...

...David C. Lin; Emilios K. Dimitriadis; Ferenc Horkay In the first of this two-part discourse on the extraction of elastic properties from atomic force microscopy (AFM) data, a scheme for automating the analysis of force-distance curves was introduced and experimentally validated for the Hertzian...

... hypothesis. The validation of the constitutive model using finite element analysis on atomic force microscopy (AFM) and magnetic twisting cytometry (MTC) has been carried out and is found to yield good correlation with reported experimental results. It is observed from the study that as the volume fraction...
