Abstract Microenvironment contains biophysical and biochemical elements to maintain survival, growth, proliferation,
and differentiation of cells. Any change can lead to cell response to the mechanical forces, which can be described by
elasticity. It is an indicator of a cell’s state since it plays an important role in many cellular processes. In many cases,
cell elasticity is measured by using discontinuous manner, which may not allow elucidating real-time activity of
individual live cells in physiological condition or cell response against microenvironmental changes. I argue that
measuring cell elasticity using continuously repetitive nanoindentation technique is important that should be
considered. As an… More >
