DESCRIPTION:Atomic Force Microscopy for the Life Sciences: Quantifying forc
 es\n\nPeter Grutter\n\nPhysics\, ÐãÉ«Ö±²¥\n\n \n\nMechanical forces are cont
 rolled by cells and are integrated into tissues to produce the final form 
 of an organism. Mechanical properties of the environment also affect cell 
 differentiation\, shape\, proliferation\, migration and apoptosis. The imp
 ortance of physical forces and shape in development and function of organi
 sms was recognized a long time ago\, and formed the discipline of ‘physics
  in biology’ or ‘physiology’. Quantifying these forces at a cellular and s
 ub-cellular level has\, however\, only recently become possible with the a
 dvent of nanotechnology. In this presentation I will concentrate on introd
 ucing the capabilities of one of these force sensing methods - atomic forc
 e microscopy (AFM) - which allows nm scale imaging. In addition\, AFM is c
 apable of quantifying mechanical properties on single molecular bonds up t
 o whole cells. Finally\, manipulation of cells such as live neurons will b
 e introduced\, demonstrating how using forces can be used to engineer func
 tional neuronal networks.\n
