Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 13.8PS
Stressed Out. It is now possible, via nanoengineering, to attach magnetic beads to the surface of large cells. Using the beads, you apply force to measure how mechanically stiff the cells are. What effect would you predict acrylamide treatment would have on the mechanical rigidity of a keratinocyte (skin cell)? Explain your answer.
