Cell stiffness predicts cancer cell sensitivity to ultrasound as a selective superficial cancer therapy

Abstract We hypothesize that the biomechanical properties of cells can predict their viability, with Young's modulus representing the former and cell sensitivity to ultrasound representing the latter. Using atomic force microscopy, we show that the Young's modulus stiffness measure is sign...
