Abstract
⺠The importance of mechanics for cell functioning is becoming increasingly clear. ⺠Cells in the nervous system respond to their mechanical environment. ⺠Atomic force microscopy is a perfect tool to investigate cell and tissue mechanics. ⺠AFM enables high-resolution topographical and mechanical imaging and manipulation. ⺠Future work will reveal how mechanics contributes to nervous system development.
