Join us on an intriguing journey into the realm of oncomechanics, where we unravel the mechanical mysteries of cells and their surroundings. Learn how the scientists measure ultra-small forces with an atomic force microscope (AFM) in the lab. Get captivated by a video showcasing the AFM in action, mapping the elastic properties of tissues at the single-cell scale. Engage in an interactive quiz that will put your knowledge and intuition to the test. Probe our agarose models of different elastic properties and guess which tissues they represent. Is it brain or maybe a cartilage?
