Résumé

A rheological behavior is introduced that stands in contrast with prevailing theories of cell mechanics. This behavior holds that cell rheology arises from an interaction of distinct elastic and viscous components expressing a limited range of characteristic relaxation times. The data given support the hypothesis that the locus of both the frictional and the elastic stresses is within formed structures of the cytoskeleton and that the dominant frictional stress does not correspond to a viscous stress.
