## 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
Glomerular mesangial cells (MCs) are centrally located in the glomerulus. MCs control not only glomerular filtration, but also the response to local injury, including cell proliferation and basement membrane remodeling. Angiotensin II (Ang II) plays an important role in kidney function regulation, a
Compositional mapping of a polyester film surface, Mylar D, was performed utilizing a combination of scanning force microscopy techniques. Lateral force microscopy revealed that additives embedded in the surface had a lower coefficient of friction than the surrounding polymeric material. Force-volum
