Investigation of stiffness as a biomarker in ovarian cancer cells

In this dissertation, we developed cell stiffness as a biomarker in ovarian cancer for the purpose of grading metastatic potential. By measuring single cell stiffness with atomic force microscopy and quantifying in vitro invasiveness of healthy and cancerous ovarian cells, we demonstrated that cance...
