Research Abstract |
We investigated the number distribution of single cell rheology by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and discuss the statistical data in connection with a modern model of cell rheology such as power-law rheology. (1) The number distribution of single cell rheology was measured as a function of external frequency. (2) The rheological behavior of cells was measured as cells were synchronized using serum starvation. (3) We succeeded to measure the ensemble-and time-averaged cell rheology and found differences between them. (4) We investigated the number distribution of power-law rheology of cells transformed from normal cells to immortalized cells.
