Schematics nanomotion sensor setup. (a) The functionalized cantilever is approached to a cell and gently pressed over it. The cell is immobilized on the surface of the sensor and the cantilever is retracted to allow the cell firm adhesion. (b) Conventional laser-based detection system of the vertical fluctuations of the sensor and resulting nanomotion signal of the cantilever deflection. (c) Optical image of four neuroblastoma cells adhering on the cantilever and linked by their neurites (Supplementary Movies S1–S3).
