Despite substantial evidence showing the feasibility of Atomic
Force Microscopy (AFM) to identify cells with altered elastic and
adhesive properties, the use of this technique as a complementary
diagnostic method remains controversial. This book is designed to
be a practical textbook that teaches how to assess the mechanical
characteristics of living, individual cells by AFM. Following a
step-by-step approach, it introduces the methodology of
measurements in the case of both determination of elastic
properties and quantification of adhesive properties.

The mechanical properties of cells can be used to distinguish
pathological from normal cells and tissues in many diseases. This
book will outline the physics behind cell and tissue mechanics,
describe the methods which can be used to determine their
mechanical properties, and present various diseases in which a
mechanical fingerprint could be established. The book is designed
to not require a background in either Physics or Life Sciences.
