The soft framework of the cellular machine
This publication is not directly relevant to capillarity and wetting. Nevertheless, it is fascinating since it provides a review of past and present research in the field of cell micro-rheology. The cells owes its shape and mechanical properties to an assortment of filamentous structures which comprise the cytoskeleton. These are: microtubules (MT), microfilaments (MF) and intermediate filaments (IF). Rheological measurement of these structures have attracted scientific attention, especially because filamentous networks of all three sorts display viscoelastic behavior.
