Thermorheology of living cells—impact of temperature variations on cell mechanics by Tobias R Kießling, Roland Stange, Josef A Käs, Anatol W Fritsch

“…Interpreting optically induced cell deformation as a thermorheological experiment allows us to consistently explain data on the basis of time–temperature superposition, well known from classical polymer physics. Measured time shift factors give access to the activation energy of the viscous flow of MCF-10A breast cells, which was determined to be ≈80 kJ mol ^−1 . …”
