Strain-rate Dependence of Elastic Modulus Reveals Silver Nanoparticle Induced Cytotoxicity

Force-displacement measurements are taken at different rates with an atomic force microscope to assess the corre‐ lation between cell health and cell viscoelasticity in THP-1 cells that have been treated with a novel drug carrier. A variable indentation-rate viscoelastic analysis, VIVA, is employed...
