The cytomechanical response of three subcellular structures – cytoplasm, nucleoplasm, and nucleoli – were monitored, showing distinct mechanical changes despite an identical stimulus. Through this pioneering transformative study, we demonstrate the capability of Brillouin spectroscopy to measure rapid, real-time biomechanical changes within distinct subcellular compartments. Our results support the promising future of Brillouin spectroscopy within the broad scope of cellular biomechanics.” This article may be obtained online without charge.
