Atomic force microscopy as analytical tool to study physico-mechanical properties of intestinal cells

The small intestine is a complex system that carries out various functions. The main function of enterocytes is absorption of nutrients, whereas membranous cells (M cells) are responsible for delivering antigens/foreign substances to the mucosal lymphoid tissues. However, to get a fundamental unders...
