ABSTRACT The rheology of cells and sub-cellular structures, such as focal adhesions, are important for cell form and function. Here we
describe electromagnetic pulling cytometry (EPC), a technique to analyze cell rheology by applying dynamic tensional forces to
A novel hybrid imaging system is constructed integrating
atomic force microscopy  AFM  with a combination of optical imaging
techniques that offer high spatial resolution. The main application
of this instrument  the NanoFluor microscope is the study
Abundant nonfibrillar oligomeric intermediates are a common feature of amyloid formation, and these oligomers, rather than the final fibers, have been suggested to be the toxic species in some amyloid diseases. Whether such oligomers are critical intermed Mechanical properties of polyelectrolyte multilayer films were studied by nanoindentation using the atomic
force microscope (AFM). Force-distance measurements using colloidal probe tips were systematically
obtained for supported films of poly(L-lysine) 
Apoptosis is defined by a distinct set of morphological changes observed during cell death including loss of focal adhesions, the formation of cell membrane buds or blebs, and a decrease in total cell volume. Recent studies suggest that these dramatic mor Surface probe measurements of the elasticity of thin film matrices as well as biological samples prove generally
important to understanding cell attachment across such systems. To illustrate this, sectioned arteries were probed by

MATERIALS & METHODS Bovine capillary endothelial cells were cultured in
10% CO2 at 37  C on gelatin-coated tissue culture dishes
in Dulbeccos modified Eagles medium (DMEM,
Gibco-BRL) supplemented with 10% calf serum (CS;
Hyclone), 10 mM Hepes (JRH-Biosciences), 2 mM

The VSMCs were isolated from a rat cremaster arteriole
as previously described.68 Low passage VSMCs were
trypsinized and then centrifuged to form a pellet. The cell
pellet was dispersed in cell culture media, and the cells were
cultured on glass-botto
For continuous thioflavin T assay measurements,  concentrated
stocks of NM stored in either 6 M GuHCl (fluorescently labeled NM
and NM used for Figures 2C, 2F, and 6) or 4 M GuHCl and 4 M urea
(NM used for all other experiments) were diluted at least 2
A7r5 smooth muscle cells (SMC) were

KB cells were plated 1 day in advance on MatTek tissue culture dishes (glass bottom No. 15, uncoated, ç-irradiated, Part # P35G-1.5-10-C) in RPMI 1640 media. A7r5 SMCs (aorta-derived cell line) were maintained
in polystyrene flasks between passages 2
and 15, and cultured in media containing DMEM,
supplemented with 10% of fetal bovine serum and
antibiotics. Cells were passed every 3 days, when
