Determination of mechanical properties of spatially heterogeneous breast tissue specimens using contact mode atomic force microscopy (AFM).

abstract：:Phenotype transformation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) has been reported to be directly influenced by the frequency of mechanical strain. This study explored the effects of different frequencies of mechanical strain on expression of phenotype marker h1-calponin and the possible mechanism. VSMCs were subjecte...
