Atomic force microscopy-based microrheology reveals significant differences in the viscoelastic response between malign and benign cell lines

Mechanical phenotyping of cells by atomic force microscopy (AFM) was proposed as a novel tool in cancer cell research as cancer cells undergo massive structural changes, comprising remodelling of the cytoskeleton and changes of their adhesive properties. In this work, we focused on the mechanical pr...
