Resumo

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements have revealed hardening of intact fibroblasts after treatment with colchicine. The reliability of AFM measurements was confirmed by the identification of cells the lateral response of which to indentation did not disturb the normal force contribution. AFM data on the mechanical characteristics of such cells admit an unambiguous interpretation.
