• Abstract summary: We chart the non-local deformation of fixed HeLa cells induced by atomic force microscopy indentation. The competition between the elasticity and capillarity on the cells is observed. We also find reduction of both elastic moduli and surface tensions due to depolymerization of the actin cytoskeleton structure.

• Abstract: Nano-indentation based on, e.g., atomic force microscopy (AFM), can measure single cell elasticity with high spatial resolution and sensitivity, but relating the data to cell mechanical properties depends on modeling that requires knowledge about the local contact between the indentation tip and the material, which is unclear in most cases. Here we use the orientation sensing by nitrogen-vacancy centers in nanodiamonds to chart the non-local deformation of fixed HeLa cells induced by AFM indentation, providing data for studying cell mechanics without requiring detailed knowledge about the local contact. The competition between the elasticity and capillarity on the cells is observed. We show that the apparent elastic moduli of the cells would have been overestimated if the capillarity is not considered (as in most previous studies using local depth-loading data). We also find reduction of both elastic moduli and surface tensions due to depolymerization of the actin cytoskeleton structure. This work demonstrates that, under shallow indentation, the nanodiamond sensing of non-local deformation with nanometer precision is particularly suitable for studying mechanics of cells.

We conduct numerical experiments to show that this hypothesis leads to the hexagon periodic patterns of grid cells. We propose a conformal modulation of the agent's input velocity, enabling the recurrent neural network of grid cells to satisfy the conformal isometry hypothesis automatically.
