Description
Summary:This review is devoted to the study of intracellular viscosity. Methods of intracellular viscosity measurement in cell populations and single cells are characterized and critically evaluated. Examples of intracellular viscosity assessment in a number of various cell types and intracellular organelles are presented. The main results of the in vitro and in vivo studies on the role of viscosity in metabolism are discussed.
