Environmental osmolarity plays a crucial role in regulating the functions and behaviors of both host cells and pathogens. However, it remains unclear whether and how environmental osmotic stimuli ...

The high throughput, cost effective and sensitive quantification of cell adhesion strength at the single-cell level is still a challenging task. The adhesion force between tissue cells and their ...

Cold atmospheric plasma can affect cell adhesion with a significant role in stem cell adhesion. In a new study now published in Scientific Reports, Kobra Hajizadeh and a team of researchers in the ...

Adhesion or tack describes the tendency of materials to form a connection to a substrate when contact pressure is applied for a short time. This property can be characterized with a Modular Compact ...

In the realm of nanomechanical techniques, AFM is ideally suited to measuring soft materials because of its sub-nanometer vertical displacement accuracy and piconewton force resolution. One of the ...

AFM is particularly well-suited to working with soft materials in the field of nanomechanical measurements, owing to its piconewton force resolution and sub-nanometer vertical displacement accuracy.
