Method "From the scale-dependent viscosity reference curve (sdVRC), [researchers] directly determined the macroscopic viscosity ?m of the cytoplasm."
Comments "[researchers] determined the macroscopic viscosity of the cytoplasm ?m=17.5Pa  s, i.e. 26 000 times higher than the viscosity of water ?0˜0.7mPa?s at 310K."
