Discrimination Between Normal and Cancerous Cells Using AFM
Open accessAbstract
Currently, biomechanics of living cells is in the focus of interest due to noticeable capability of such techniques like atomic force microscopy (AFM) to probe cellular properties at the single cell level directly on living cells. The research carried out, so far, delivered data showing, on the one hand, the use of cellular mechanics as a biomarker of various pathological changes, which, on the other hand, reveal relative nature of biomechanics. In the AFM, the elastic properties of living cells are delivered from indentation experiments and described quantitatively by Young's modulus defined here as a measure of cellular deformability. Here, the AFM studies directly comparing the mechanical properties of normal and cancerous cells are summarized and presented together with a few important issues related to the relativeness of Young's modulus.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
