Mucus Microrheology Measured on Human Bronchial Epithelium Culture

Mucus Microrheology Measured on Human Bronchial Epithelium Culture

We describe an original method to measure mucus microrheology on human bronchial epithelium culture using optical tweezers. We probed rheology on the whole thickness of mucus above the epithelium and showed that mucus gradually varies in rheological response, from an elastic behavior close to the ep...
