Study of viscoelasticity and adhesion of human alveolar epithelial cells by atomic force microscopy. The importance of probe geometry
During the last century, cellular biology has been mostly assessed from the biochemical point of view: studying how biochemical stimuli modify the biochemical composition of living cells. However, most of the cells that form our body constantly exert or are subjected to mechanical forces. Muscle cel...
