The conference was held at the Fürstbischöfliches Schloss Münster, Münster, Germany, from September 3 to 6 and preceded by a workshop on AFM training (held on September 2). Founded in June 2006, after a first seminal French-speaking conference held on the same topics in Nîmes on June 2004, AFM BioMed conference brings researchers and students around the world to discuss the latest scientific results of atomic force microscopy in life science and medicine.1, 2 AFM BioMed organized its first international meeting in Barcelona, Spain, in spring 20073 followed, every 18 months, by Monterey, CA, USA, in fall 2008,4 Crveni otok (Red Island) near the Adriatic City of Rovinj, Croatia, in spring 2010,5 Paris in summer 2011,6 Shanghai in spring 2013,7 San Diego in Fall 2014,8 Porto in spring 2016,9 and Krakow in fall 2017.10 Members of the scientific committee for the ninth edition of the meeting include past and present organizer's chairmen Hermann Schillers (University Münster, Germany), Malgorzata Lekka (Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland), Susana R. Sousa (i3S|INEB, Porto, Portugal), Adam Engler (UCSD, San Diego, USA), Jun Hu (SINAP, Shanghai, China), Sanjay Kumar (University of California, Berkeley, USA), Daniel Navajas (Universitat de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain), Simon Scheuring (Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale [INSERM] U1006, Marseille, France), Vesna Svetlicic (Rudjer Boskovic Institute, Zagreb, Croatia), the original founders of the conference Pierre Parot (IACA) and Jean-Luc Pellequer (CEA/DRF, Institut de Biologie Structurale, Grenoble, France) as well as the four invited chairmen: Arvind Raman (Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA), Richard S. Chadwick (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA), Harald Fuchs (University of Münster, Germany), and Hongbin Li (University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada). Local organizers included Bruker-JPK's Carmen Petterson and Oilibhe Pabsch, as well as the congress office, namely Judith Bahmer, with strong support by Claudia Jostmeier (Stadtmarketing Münster) as well as the staff members Sebastian Fuest, Maximilian Fuest, Mathis Zerbst, Clemens Backhaus, Ina Engemann, and Martina Menne. Partners of the event include the Universitätsklinikum Münster (UKM), Westfälische Wilhelms Universität Münster (WWU), Stadtmarketing Münster. Financial contribution from Bruker Nano, Wiley, Internationalisierumgsfonds WWU and Münster-Allianz für Wissenschaft is gratefully acknowledged. The meeting welcomed 12 invited talks from internationally renowned speakers, 51 oral presentations, and 36 poster presentations (146 participants altogether). The 2019 program also featured vast geographical diversity with presentations from 19 different countries across three continents! Both oral and poster presentations brought closer specialists from cell biology and medical science to materials science and physics, to discuss the latest technological advances and applications of AFM in the field of CELLULAR MECHANICS, SINGLE MOLECULES AND MEMBRANES, BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS, and DATA PROCESSING. Within these sessions, we were treated to invited lectures by Toshio Ando (Kanazawa University, Japan), Richard S. Chadwick (NIH, Bethesda, USA), Harald Fuchs (University of Münster, Germany), Hongbin Li (University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada), Filomena A. Carvalho (Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal), Arvind Raman (Purdue University, West Lafayette, USA), Marina Inés Giannotti (Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia, Barcelona, Spain), Giovanni Longo (Istituto di Struttura della Materia, CNR, Rome, Italy), Sergi Garcia-Manyes (King's College London, UK), Gerald Meininger (University of Missouri Health at Columbia, USA), Richard Superfine (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA), and Nuria Gavara (Queen Mary University of London, UK). New to this conference was the Flashtalks. As part of the oral sessions, three posters of each topic were selected (total of 12) to be presented in a 5 min talk (flashtalk). Prizes for best oral and poster presentation were awarded by the JMR Young Investigator Awards: for the best presentations: Simone Benaglia (CSIC, Madrid), Petr Gorelkin (MISIS, Moscow), Marion Mathelie-Guinlet (Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium), Delphine Sicard (Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN), see https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.1002/(ISSN)1099-1352.AFM-BioMed-Muenster2019. The meeting also hosted a full day of a pre-conference AFM hands-on Bruker-JPK training day. The meeting was highlighted by a visit and a banquet dinner at the historical city hall of Münster, with a guided tour through the "Friedenssaal" where the Peace of Westphalia (peace treaty) was signed in 1648 to end the 30 Years' War in Europe. Bruker Nano also sponsored a reception followed by a dinner at "A2 am Aasee" Restaurant. As a result of the science presented at the meeting, we are pleased to include the following manuscripts in this issue of the Journal of Molecular Recognition: Svetlana N. Pleskova, Ruslan N. Kriukov, Sergey Z. Bobyk, Alexey V. Boryakov, Peter V. Gorelkin, Alexander S. Erofeev Conditioning adhesive contacts between the neutrophils and the endotheliocytes by Staphylococcus aureus.

We wish to thank all the contributors to this volume and more particularly the 16 reviewers who participated in the rigorous peer-review selection of submitted manuscripts. We are glad to announce the 10th AFM BioMed conference that will be chaired by Prof. Takayuki Uchihashi, Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan and Prof. Ryota Iino, Institute for Molecular Science (IMS) Okazaki, Japan. The conference will take place at the Okazaki conference center of IMS (https://afmbiomed.org/nagoya-okazaki-2022.aspx). Due to the current pandemic COVID-19 situation, the conference was postponed to 2022. We are looking forward to seeing you in Nagoya in Late summer 2022.
