Schematic of intracellular components contributing to cellular mechanical phenotypes. Major cytoskeletal elements include microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. Mechanical and biological characteristics intersect via nucleocytoskeletal structures. Local and whole-cell deformations interact with the major elements to varying degrees, being highly dependent on cell type and morphology.
