author keywords: cancer detection; cell viscoelastic; creep properties; confocal microscopy; cytoskeletal proteins; immunofluorescence staining; relative volume density; shear assay
MeSH headings : Actins; Cytoskeleton; Elastic Modulus; Elasticity; Humans; Triple Negative Breast Neoplasms; Viscosity
TL;DR: The study reveals significant differences between the creep and viscoelastic properties of non-tumorigenic breast cells versus tumorigenic cells and the variations in the creep strain rates are shown to be well characterized by lognormal distributions. (via Semantic Scholar)
