Application of self-organizing maps to AFM-based viscoelastic characterization of breast cancer cell mechanics
Abstract Cell mechanical properties have been proposed as label free markers for diagnostic purposes in diseases such as cancer. Cancer cells show altered mechanical phenotypes compared to their healthy counterparts. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a widely utilized tool to study cell mechanics. Th...
