Cell visco-elasticity measured with AFM and optical trapping at sub-micrometer deformations.

The measurement of the elastic properties of cells is widely used as an indicator for cellular changes during differentiation, upon drug treatment, or resulting from the interaction with the supporting matrix. Elasticity is routinely quantified by indenting the cell with a probe of an AFM while appl...
