Local viscoelasticity of living cells measured by rotational magnetic spectroscopy
Cells are recognized as having viscoelastic properties, but whether the cytoplasm resembles a viscoelastic liquid or an elastic gel is still debated. Here the authors use micron-sized wires rotating at variable speeds to show that the cytoplasm has properties of a viscoelastic liquid.
