Power laws in microrheology experiments on living cells: comparative analysis and modelling
Martial Balland, Nicolas Desprat, Delphine Icard +5
We compare and synthesize the results of two microrheological experiments on the cytoskeleton of single cells. In the first one, the creep function J(t) of a cell stretched between…
