Addressing Practical Issues in Atomic Force Microscopy-Based Micro-Indentation on Human Articular Cartilage Explants
Cyril Daniel 1, Dorothea Alexander 2, Felix Umrath 1,2, Marina Danalache 1
1Laboratory of Cell Biology, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University Hospital Tübingen, 2Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital Tübingen

We present a step-by-step approach to identify and address the most common problems associated with atomic force microscopy micro-indentations. We exemplify the emerging problems on native human articular cartilage explants characterized by various degrees of osteoarthritis-driven degeneration.
