Local Rheology of Human Neutrophils Investigated Using Atomic Force Microscopy
During the immune response, neutrophils display localized mechanical events by interacting with their environment through the micro-vascular transit, trans-endothelial, and trans-epithelial migration. Nano-mechanical studies of human neutrophils on localized nano-domains could provide the essential information for understanding their immune responsive functions. Using the Atomic Force Microscop...
متن کاملCellular Biomechanics Investigated by Atomic Force Microscopy
Living biological cells are highly complex, multifunctional systems whose physical attributes are relatively unknown. Critical functions involving plasticity of cell morphology, connectivity and response to stimuli are proposed to be fundamentally related to the micromechanical character and the ability of the cell to exert directed mechanical signaling. Unique abilities of atomic force microsc...
متن کاملLocal viscoelastic properties of live cells investigated using dynamic and quasi-static atomic force microscopy methods.
The measurement of viscoelasticity of cells in physiological environments with high spatio-temporal resolution is a key goal in cell mechanobiology. Traditionally only the elastic properties have been measured from quasi-static force-distance curves using the atomic force microscope (AFM). Recently, dynamic AFM-based methods have been proposed to map the local in vitro viscoelastic properties o...
متن کاملRheology of passive and adhesion-activated neutrophils probed by atomic force microscopy.
The rheology of neutrophils in their passive and activated states plays a key role in determining their function in response to inflammatory stimuli. Atomic force microscopy was used to study neutrophil rheology by measuring the complex shear modulus G*(omega) of passive nonadhered rat neutrophils on poly(HEMA) and neutrophils activated through adhesion to glass. G*(omega) was measured over thr...
متن کاملBiomechanics of the anterior human corneal tissue investigated with atomic force microscopy.
PURPOSE To investigate the biomechanics of the anterior human corneal stroma using atomic force microscopy (AFM). METHODS AFM measurements were performed in liquid on the anterior stroma of human corneas, after gently removing the epithelium, using an atomic force microscope in the force spectroscopy mode. Rectangular silicon cantilevers with tip radius of 10 nm and spring elastic constants o...
