Microrheology

Microrheology is an advanced rheological technique that enables in situ measurements of soft rheological properties using microscopy and only a few microliters of samples. These experimental characteristics and sensitivity in the low moduli regime have attracted interdisciplinary interest in this technique resulting in it being used across fields including medicine, biology and engineering. This special issue focuses on the latest theoretical and experimental advancements in microrheology and the expanded use of the technique for new applications. This issue will consolidate the current state-of-the-art and provide insight into future technique development and applicability.

We invite researchers and experts to submit their original work, including theoretical, experimental and numerical studies that focus on the use and development of microrheological techniques.
