Protocol to measure the membrane tension and bending modulus of cells using optical tweezers and scanning electron microscopy

The elastic properties of cell membranes, particularly the membrane tension and bending modulus, are known to be key regulators of cellular functions. Here, we present a correlative and integrated tool based on optical tweezers and scanning electron microscopy to accurately determine these propertie...
