Here we review the applications of atomic force microscopy to the study of samples of
biological origin. Emphasis is given to provide the reader with information on the broad …

Cellular membranes are complex structures and simplified analogues in the form of model
membranes or biomembranes are used as platforms to understand fundamental properties …

Atomic force microscopy is an amazing technique that allies a versatile methodology (that
