Abstract excerpt
Elasticity and visco-elasticity are mechanical properties of cells which directly reflect cellular composition, internal structure (cytoskeleton), and external interactions (cell-cell and/or cell-surface).

With continuing advances in the technology, it may be possible to establish...
