Nanorheology and Nanoindentation Revealed a Softening and an Increased Viscous Fluidity of Adherent Mammalian Cells upon Increasing the Frequency

The nanomechanical response of a cell depends on the frequency at which thecell is probed. The components of the cell that contribute to this property andtheir interplay are not well understood. Here, two force microscopy methodsare integrated to characterize the frequency and/or the velocity-depend...
