| Method |
Through the use of particle nanotracking, researchers detect and quantify the micro-organization as well as the viscoelastic properties of the intranuclear region in single, live, interphase somatic cells. Shear flow experiments-Glass coverslips were cleaned and treated with 0.1-% poly-L-lysine (Sigma, St Louis, MO), and then coated with 20 µg/ml fibronectin (Calbiochem, San Diego, CA). |
| Comments |
The intranuclear region is much stiffer than the cytoplasm. It is also more elastic than viscous, which reveals that the intranuclear region displays an unexpectedly strong solid-like behavior. 1 Poise = 1 g·cm^-1·s^-1. |
