Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, I developed multi-frequency force modulation atomic force microscopy (AFM) which enable mapping rheological properties of living cells in their physiological conditions. The AFM method was applied to investigate (1) the relationship between cell rheology and cell cytoskeleton at the single cell level, (2) single cancer cell mechanical diagnostics, and (3) ensemble and temporal variations of single cell rheology.
