Animal cells and bacteria are enveloped and sealed by lipid membranes and mechanically protected by cortical polymer networks. Cells typically maintain a small (eukaryotic cells) or large (bacteria) positive osmotic pressure against their environment. Volume and shape regulation also impact the mechanical properties of cells. The mechanical properties of cells can be probed by exerting external force and measuring cell response. To better understand micromechanical optical trapping experiments with suspended rounded cells, and AFM experiments on bacteria, we employed finite element simulations and modelled cells as pressurized elastic shells.
