Cancer development and progression are closely associated with changes both in the
mechano-cellular phenotype of cancer and stromal cells and in the extracellular matrix …

AFM nanoindentation is a modern technique which is used for the determination of the
mechanical properties of materials and biomaterials. With regards to the nanoindentation …

The objective of this paper was to investigate the influence of UV irradiation on collagen D‐
band periodicity by using the AFM imaging and nanoindentation methods. It is well known …

Novel nanobiomaterials are increasingly gaining ground in bioengineering research.
Among the numerous biomaterials, collagen‐nanobiomaterials, such as collagen thin films …

Collagen is the major fibrous extracellular matrix protein and due to its unique properties, it
has been widely used as biomaterial, scaffold and cell-substrate. The aim of the paper was …

Cancer cells have different characteristics from normal cells in terms of morphology, cell–cell
interactions, cytoskeleton organization, cell growth rates, and cell-extracellular matrix …

The collagen superfamily includes more than fifty collagen and/or collagen-like proteins with
fibril-forming collagen type I being the most abundant protein within the extracellular matrix …

A common assumption of nanoidentation experiments is to consider the sample as an
elastic half space due to the simplicity of the analysis regarding the Young's modulus …

This paper presents an investigation of how different culture media (ie basal and osteogenic
media) affect the nanomechanical properties and microstructure of the mineralized matrix …
