Rheological properties of biological materials

Eucaryotic cells and biological materials are described from a rheological point of view. Single cell properties give rise to typical microrheological properties which can affect cell behaviour. Single cell properties are also important in the context of multicellular systems, i.e. in biological tissues. Results from experiments are analyzed and models proposed both at the cellular scale and the macroscopic scale.
