(2006, background): “While some success has been achieved in the development of tissue level continuum mechanics (Humphrey, 2003), it is still a challenge to study single cell mechanics, especially when taking the living and dynamic nature of the cell into consideration (Fung and Liu, 1993; Zhu et al., 2000; Bao and Sur”
