The biomechanical properties of the brain microenvironment, which is composed of different
neural cell types, the extracellular matrix, and blood vessels, are critical for normal brain …

The advantages of atomic force microscopy (AFM) in biological research are its high
imaging resolution, sensitivity, and ability to operate in physiological conditions. Over the …

Raman spectroscopy and imaging combined with AFM topography and mechanical
indentation by AFM have been shown to be an effective tool for analysis and discrimination …

Background Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to study the molecular structure
of biological materials. AFM has become a novel tool that allows measurement of …

Flavonoids, polyphenols with anti-oxidative activity have high potential as novel therapeutics
for neurodegenerative disease, but their applicability is rendered by their poor water …

Extracellular matrix (ECM) properties affect multiple cellular processes such as cell survival,
proliferation, and protein synthesis. Thus, a polymeric‐cell delivery system with the ability to …

Besides human red blood cells (RBC), a standard model used in AFM-single cell force
spectroscopy (SCFS), little is known about apparent Young's modulus (Ea) or adhesion of …

Taking advantage of the good mechanical strength of expanded Drosophila brains and to
tackle their relatively large size that can complicate imaging, we apply potassium (poly) …

In recent decades, mechanobiology has emerged as a novel perspective in the context of
basic biomedical research. It is now widely recognized that living cells respond not only to …

Oxidative stress (OS) induced by the disturbed homeostasis of metal ions is one of the
pivotal factors contributing to neurodegeneration. The aim of the present study was to …
