Zusammenfassung:Departments of 1  Biomedical Engineering and 2  Medicine, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina 27708 The effect of differentiation on the transverse mechanical properties of mammalian myocytes was determined by using atomic force microscopy. The apparent elastic modulus increased from 11.5 ± 1.3 kPa for undifferentiated myoblasts to 45.3 ± 4.0 kPa after 8 days of differentiation ( P
