Physical forces and mechanical properties have critical roles in cellular function, physiology
and disease. Over the past decade, atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques have …

The force microscope provides the most flexible of surface force measurement techniques
for probing the richness and complexity of surface interactions. The technique is reviewed …

Surfaces play a vial role in biology and medicine with most biological reactions occurring at
surfaces and interfaces. The foundations, evolution, and impact of biomedical surface …

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is part of a range of emerging microscopic methods for
biologists which offer the magnification range of both the light and electron microscope, but …

Single molecule atomic force microscopy was used to characterize structure, binding
strength (unbinding force), and binding kinetics of a classical cadherin, vascular endothelial …

Molecular recognition force spectroscopy was employed to probe the mechanical and
dynamical features poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG). His6 was covalently coupled to AFM tips via …

Functionalization of atomic force microscope (AFM) tips with bioligands converts them into
monomolecular biosensors which can detect complementary receptor molecules on the …

The measuring tip of an atomic force microscope (AFM) can be upgraded to a specific
biosensor by attaching one or a few biomolecules to the apex of the tip. The …

Over the last century, medicine has come out of the" black bag" and emerged as one of the
most dynamic and advanced fields of development in science and technology. Today …
