The SMMS technology has been developed by Valerio Pini et al. With SMMS we get polarization-resolved spectral and spatial analysis of the scattered light over large surface areas. The SMMS technique provides three orders of magnitude faster spectroscopic analysis than conventional dark-field microspectrophotometry, with the capability for mapping the spatial distribution of the scattered light…

The NANOFORCELLS team has studied the correlation between cytoskeleton organization and stiffness of three epithelial breast cancer cells lines with different degree of malignancy: MCF-10A (healthy), MCF-7 (tumorigenic/non-invasive) and MDA-MB-231 (tumorigenic/invasive). Peak-force modulation atomic force microscopy was used for high-resolution topography and stiffness imaging of actin filaments within living cells. In healthy cells, local stiffness…
