Cytoskeletal Strains in Modeled Optohydrodynamically Stressed Healthy and Diseased Biological Cells

Figure 6

Graphical plot of the effective stresses versus volumetric strains (logarithmic scale) in modeled biological cells with varying linear elastic moduli representing the range in diseased to normal cells (low to high moduli, resp.). The modeled environment characterizes the fluid-induced stresses derived from flow velocities of to 2,000 μm/s within the optohydrodynamic trap.
