Functionalized atomic force microscope tips were used to sense specific forces of interaction between ligand-receptor pairs and to map the positions of polysaccharides on a living microbial cell surface. Gold-coated tips were functionalized with concanavalin A using a cross-linker with a spacer arm

## Abstract Cell adhesion is required for essential biological functions such as migration, tissue formation and wound healing, and it is mediated by individual molecules that bind specifically to ligands on other cells or on the extracellular matrix. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been successf
## Abstract The regulation of cell shape, which determines cell behaviors including adhesion, spreading, migration, and proliferation in an engineered artificial extracellular milieu, is an important task in tissue engineering and in development of functional biomaterials. To deepen the understandi
Scanning Force Microscopy (SFM) is utilized to study living confluent 3T6 cells. Images based on mechanical contrast are obtained and related morphological details, mostly regarding the cell cytoskeleton, are analyzed. Moreover, numerical estimates of the local mechanical properties of the living ce
## Abstract In this study, conducting atomic force microscopy was employed to investigate the nanoscale surface electrical properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) films prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) at different substrate temperatures for use as anode materials in polymer lightβemitting diodes.
