Measuring nanoscale viscoelastic parameters of cells directly from AFM force-displacement curves

Abstract Force-displacement (F-Z) curves are the most commonly used Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) mode to measure the local, nanoscale elastic properties of soft materials like living cells. Yet a theoretical framework has been lacking that allows the post-processing of F-Z data to extract their vis...
