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.
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.
