Mapping nanomechanical properties of live cells using multi-harmonic atomic force microscopy

The nanomechanical properties of living cells, such as their surface elastic response and adhesion, have important roles in cellular processes such as morphogenesis 1, mechano-transduction 2, focal adhesion 3, motility 4,5, metastasis 6 and drug delivery 7-10. Techniques based on quasi-static atomic...
