One goal of tissue engineering is creating artificial tissues that can replace, support or heal damaged tissues or organs. To achieve this, understanding the structural, mechanical and functional mechanisms that underlie tissue development and growth is essential. AFM offers unique capabilities that enable the characterization of matrix or scaffold materials, the investigation of interactions between cells and such materials or other cells, the manipulation of single cells for genome editing, or the exploration of the properties of tissues or even organoids. - Measure the properties of matrix or scaffold materials - Study the interactions between cells and materials or other cells - Manipulate single cells for genome editing - Examine the properties of tissues and organoids
