On Thursday, the 6th of October, global thought leaders will convene in Basel. Hear from representatives of the three main industries using AFM - materials science, the life sciences, and industrial applications - about...

Single-cell transcriptomics (scRNA-seq) has greatly advanced our ability to characterize cellular heterogeneity. However, scRNA-seq requires lysing cells, which impedes further molecular or functional analyses on the sa...

Embryogenesis, tissue repair and cancer metastasis rely on collective cell migration. In vitro studies propose that cells are stiffer while migrating in stiff substrates, but softer when plated in compliant surfaces whi...

PicoBalance Overview and Experiment Setup In this video, Gotthold Fläschner presents the PicoBalance add-on for Nanosurf's DriveAFM. He also shows the preparation steps and setup required to run a typical mass mea...

In this article, a review of a series of applications of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and fluidic Atomic Force Microscopy (fluidic AFM, hereafter fluidFM) in single-cell studies is presented. AFM applications involving...

The regulation of cell growth has fundamental physiological, biotechnological and medical implications. However, methods that can continuously monitor individual cells at sufficient mass and time resolution hardly exist...
