| Comments |
Using the sensitivity of an atomic force microscope to
probe cellular nanomechanics in an acoustically insulated
environment,Pelling et al. demonstrated that the cell wall of
single, living cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae exhibited
local periodic nanoscale motions of similar average amplitude
(3.0±0.5nm), yet variable, temperature-dependent
frequencies (0.9–1.6 kHz) |
