The measurement of biomechanical properties of porcine articular cartilage using atomic force microscopy

Nico de Rooij, Terunobu Akiyama

We have recently demonstrated that indentation-type atomic force microscopy (IT-AFM) is capable of detecting early onset osteoarthritis (OA) (Stolz, 2009). This study was based on biopsies, using a desk-top commercial atomic force microscope (AFM). However ...
