A study in Advanced Photonics Research optimizes AFM laser positioning and eigenmode selection to enhance imaging of human corneal epithelial cells, advancing diagnostics and biomedical research.

Cancer cells often form the glycocalyx with high levels of cell-surface mucins, which are thought to help protect the cancer cell from immune cell attack. However, a physical understanding of this ...

One of the ways that cancer cells hide from the body’s immune system is by forming a thin surface barrier called the glycocalyx. In a new study, researchers examined the material properties of ...
