Protocol for measuring mechanical properties of live cells using atomic force microscopy

Summary: Atomic force microscope (AFM) is a powerful and versatile tool to determine the physical properties of cells. The force-distance curves obtained from AFM experiments can be used to determine the stiffness and viscoelastic properties of cells. Here, we present a protocol for the determinatio...
