Tissue mechanics and expression of TROP2 in oral squamous cell carcinoma with varying differentiation
Atomic Force Microscopy ( AFM ) can be utilized to determine the mechanical properties of tumor tissues in different kinds of cancers, for example breast cancer, liver cancer and lung cancer. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common subtype of head and neck and other malignant tumors that occurs in increasing numbers. It is … Continue reading
A Universal Model for the Log-Normal Distribution of Elasticity in Polymeric Gels and Its Relevance to Mechanical Signature of Biological TissuesTue Feb 16 2021
#AtomicForceMicroscopy ( #AFM ) is used as an important tool to assess the #elasticproperties of biological samples such as biologicaltissues etc.
In the article “Universal Model for the Log-Normal Distribution of Elasticity in Polymeric Gels and Its Relevance to Mechanical Signature of Biological Tissues* A. Millet proposes a physical model explaining how elasticity values frequently follow a log normal distribution and suggests that distribution-type analysis could increase the information obtained from AFM studies on #biologicaltissues.
NanoAndMore Colloidal #AFMprobes CP-qp-scont-BSG-A-5 were used to assess the elastic properties of the biological samples. The AFM measurements were done in PBS (Phosphate Buffer Saline).

Two New MSS Sensors for Torque Magnetometry added to NANOSENSORS™ Special Developments ListMon Feb 15 2021
Two New MSS Sensors for Torque Magnetometry added to the Special Developments List
NANOSENSORS™ has completed the development of two additional Membrane-type Surface-stress Sensors (MSS) ( SD-MSS-1KPMAl and SD-MSS-1KPMAu ) dedicated for torque magnetometry. Torque magnetometry is a useful technique often employed for assessment of various materials like organic conductors, magnetic and superconductor materials. Now NANOSENSORS™ has added two new types of MSS for this application “SD-MSS-1KPMAl” and “SD-MSS-1KPMAu” to the NANOSENSORS™Special Developments List.
These sensors can be used for nanomechanical sensing, material assessment, static/pulsed-field torque magnetometry, force sensing, and other applications. […]

Amphiphilic Poly(dimethylsiloxane-ethylene-propylene oxide)-polyisocyanurate Cross-Linked Block Copolymers in a Membrane Gas Separation
Block copolymers, including multiblock copolymers of an amphiphilic nature, because of their ability to form various supramolecular structures are attracting a lot of research interest these days. The direct influence on the supramolecular organization of block copolymers is a way of controlling both the mechanical and physicochemical properties of polymer materials obtained on this basis. … Continue reading

Cytoskeletal disorganization underlies PABPN1-mediated myogenic disability
Muscle wasting is connected with changes in various cellular mechanisms that influence protein homeostasis, transcription, protein acetylation and different metabolic pathways. * Scientific studies have shown that reduced levels of polyadenylation binding protein 1 ( PABPN1 , a multifactorial regulator of mRNA processing ) cause muscle wasting, including muscle atrophy, extracellular matrix thickening, myofiber typing […]
Crystallography of BudgetSensors® silicon AFM probesMon Feb 01 2021
Did you know that BudgetSensors® silicon AFM probes are made of single-crystal silicon, which has the exact same crystalline structure as diamond? The orientation of the crystal is always the same. The surface of the AFM cantilever is a (100) plane and the AFM cantilever long axis points in the direction.
