Micropipette aspiration experiments and simulations.

a) A representative microscopy of a cell undergoing micropipette aspiration. b) Simulation snapshot of a cell during the micropipette aspiration. c) Comparison between experimental data and simulation for micropipette aspiration, where L_n is normalized indentation length and ΔP is aspiration pressure. The gray area represents standard deviation for experimental data, standard deviation bars for simulations are omitted as they are smaller than the symbols. d) Cell viscosity, η, as a function of dissipative force parameter γ and cutoff length R_c obtained from micropipette aspiration simulations.
