Brownian motion
Brownian motion or pedesis (from πήδησις "leaping") is the random motion of particles suspended in a fluid (a liquid or a gas) resulting from their collision with the fast-moving molecules in the fluid.

Cancer
Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body.

Cytoplasm
In cell biology, the cytoplasm is the material within a living cell, excluding the cell nucleus.

Cytoskeleton
A cytoskeleton is present in all cells of all domains of life (archaea, bacteria, eukaryotes).

Elasticity (physics)
In physics, elasticity (from Greek ἐλαστός "ductible") is the ability of a body to resist a distorting influence and to return to its original size and shape when that influence or force is removed.

Flow tracer
A flow tracer is any fluid property used to track flow.
New!!: Force spectrum microscopy and Flow tracer · See more »
Fourier transform
The Fourier transform (FT) decomposes a function of time (a signal) into the frequencies that make it up, in a way similar to how a musical chord can be expressed as the frequencies (or pitches) of its constituent notes.

Hooke's law
Hooke's law is a principle of physics that states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance scales linearly with respect to that distance.

List of breast cancer cell lines
Scientists study the behaviour of isolated cells grown in the laboratory for insights into how cells function in the body in health and disease.

Macromolecular crowding
The phenomenon of macromolecular crowding alters the properties of molecules in a solution when high concentrations of macromolecules such as proteins are present.

Malignancy
Malignancy is the tendency of a medical condition to become progressively worse.
New!!: Force spectrum microscopy and Malignancy · See more »
MCF-7
MCF-7 is a breast cancer cell line isolated in 1970 from a 69-year-old Caucasian woman.

Mean squared displacement
In statistical mechanics, the mean squared displacement (MSD, also mean square displacement, average squared displacement, or mean square fluctuation) is a measure of the deviation of the position of a particle with respect to a reference position over time.
New!!: Force spectrum microscopy and Mean squared displacement · See more »
Metastasis
Metastasis is a pathogenic agent's spread from an initial or primary site to a different or secondary site within the host's body; it is typically spoken of as such spread by a cancerous tumor.
New!!: Force spectrum microscopy and Metastasis · See more »
Microrheology
Microrheology is a technique used to measure the rheological properties of a medium, such as microviscosity, via the measurement of the trajectory of a flow tracer (a micrometre-sized particle).

Myosin
Myosins are a superfamily of motor proteins best known for their roles in muscle contraction and in a wide range of other motility processes in eukaryotes.
New!!: Force spectrum microscopy and Myosin · See more »
Optical tweezers
Optical tweezers (originally called "single-beam gradient force trap") are scientific instruments that use a highly focused laser beam to provide an attractive or repulsive force (typically on the order of piconewtons), depending on the relative refractive index between particle and surrounding medium, to physically hold and move microscopic objects similar to tweezers.

Polyethylene glycol
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a polyether compound with many applications from industrial manufacturing to medicine.

Vesicle (biology and chemistry)
In cell biology, a vesicle is a small structure within a cell, or extracellular, consisting of fluid enclosed by a lipid bilayer.
