Atomic force microscopy-indentation demonstrates that alginate beads are mechanically stable under cell culture conditions
Alginate microbeads are extensively used in tissue engineering as microcarriers and cell encapsulation vessels. In this study, we used atomic force microscopy (AFM) based indentation using 20 µm colloidal probes to assess the local reduced elastic modulus (E * ) using a novel method to detect the co...
