Access through your institution Buy or subscribe The bulk properties of a cell's cytoplasm have long been thought to resemble those of hydrogels, such as agar or children's party
jelly. Now, using measurements on single cells, Ben Fabry and colleagues show that, in fact, they more closely resemble a soft glass. Fabry and colleagues attached ferrimagnetic beads to the
surface of single cells, held them in place with optical tweezers, and then rolled them back and forth in an oscillating electric field. By following the movement of these beads, a number
of physical properties of the cytoplasm, such as the elastic modulus, could be estimated. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through
