| Summary of Lecture: |
The students will learn the basics of linear elasticity theory and viscoelastic models that are relevant for the field of cell mechanics. This will be a foundation for understanding analysis approaches of cell-mechanical models.
We will review molecular structures in the cell that dominate cell mechanics.
The students will hear about different methods for cell-mechanical measurements (indentation with AFM, parallel plate assay, bead-tracking micro-rheology, magnetic oil droplets, magnetic tweezers) and discuss the analysis pathways and published results.
In addition, I will point out limitations of different experimental setups and alternative interpretation approaches as well as controversies in the field.
