Abstract
⺠Estradiol induced stiffness changes of osteoblasts were quantified using AFM. ⺠Estradiol causes significant decrease in the stiffness of osteoblasts. ⺠Decreased stiffness was caused by decreased density of f-actin network. ⺠Stiffness changes were not associated with mineralized matrix of osteoblasts. ⺠Estradiol increases inherent alkaline phosphatase activity of osteoblasts.
