Thermorheology of living cells—impact of temperature variations on cell mechanics
Upon temperature changes, we observe a systematic shift of creep compliance curves J ( t ) for single living breast epithelial cells. We use a dual-beam laser trap (optical stretcher) to induce temperature jumps within milliseconds, while simultaneously measuring the mechanical response of whole cel...
