Mechanical Properties of Mouse Lung Cells and Their Effects on the Atomic Force Microscope Beam Vibrations.

In the present investigation, the mechanical properties of mouse normal and carcinomatous (LL/2) lung tissue cells were investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The normal lung cells have been derived directly from C57BL mice. Initially, the elastic modulus of LL/2 cells was measured following chemotherapy with the anti-cancer drug Cisplatin and plasma treatment.
