The increasingly recognised importance of viscoelastic properties cells in pathological conditions requires rapid development advanced cell microrheology technologies. Here, we present a novel Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)-microrheology (AFM2) method for measuring the living cells, over wide range continuous frequencies (0.005 Hz ~ 200 Hz), from simple stress-relaxation nanoindentation. Experimental data were directly analysed without need pre-conceived models. We show had an excellent...

ABSTRACT Despite the clinical benefit of androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT), majority patients with advanced prostate cancer (PCa) ultimately develop lethal castration-resistant (CRPC). In this study, we identified thioesterase superfamily member 6 (THEM6) as a marker ADT resistance in PCa. patients, THEM6 expression correlates progressive disease and is associated poor survival. deletion reduces vivo tumour growth restores castration sensitivity orthograft models CRPC. Mechanistically,...
