Inelastic mechanics of biopolymer networks and cells
I use an integrated approach of experiments, theory, and numerical evaluations to show that stiffening and softening/fluidization are natural consequences of the assumption that the cytoskeleton is mechanically essentially equivalent to a transiently crosslinked biopolymer network. I perform experim...
