Description

Full text: In this contribution, I would like to present recent results about cell mechanics obtained with atomic force microscopy and its relation with basic soft matter science. We will present a novel way to obtain viscoelastic properties (Young modulus, relaxation time and viscosity) of breast cancer cells based on stress relaxation and creep measurements. Additionally we will show the influence of applied stress on red blood cell shape. The importance of such type of measurements on soft matter physics, cell biology, and biomedical science. (author)
