Mechanical properties measured by atomic force microscopy define health biomarkers in ageing C. elegans
The development of reliable measures of health in ageing organisms is a need in ageing research. Using atomic force microscopy, here, the authors assess whole body stiffness of worms and show that it reflects organismal fitness.
