Abstract

The applications of atomic force microscopy and the methods based on atomic force microscopy that can be useful in medical nanoanalytics have been reviewed. The main fields of possible application of scanning probe microscopy in medicine have been outlined. Among these are studying the resistance of bacterial cells to modern antibiotics and drugs, morphological analysis of blood components, trichology, nanotoxicology, DNA sequencing, and biocompatibility of medicinal materials. Examples of application of atomic force microscopy for studies in these fields have been considered, and prospects for its use in medicine have been demonstrated.
