The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

A particle-based model for the transport of erythrocytes in capillaries (2009, methodology): “For interpreting and predicting the mechanical behavior of living cells, theoretical modeling has followed two main directions: the continuum approach and the microstructural approach (Lim et al. 2006).”
Review on Cell Mechanics: Experimental and Modeling Approaches (2013, methodology): “These formulations were mainly developed to account for the rheological response of leukocytes during micropipette aspiration [458].”
Cell mechanics: integrating cell responses to mechanical stimuli. (2007, background): “As a result, most rheological studies have been phenomenological, with either a finite number of elastic and viscous elements coupled in series or parallel to mimic the rheological behavior, or scaling exponents and limiting values to define how they may be fit by glass-like models (45).”
