abstract = {The unique mechanical performance of animal cells and
tissues is attributed mostly to their internal biopolymer
meshworks. Its perplexing universality and robustness
against structural modifications by drugs and mutations is
an enigma in cell biology and provides formidable challenges
to materials science. Recent investigations could pinpoint
highly universal patterns in the soft glassy rheology and
nonlinear elasticity of cells and reconstituted networks.
Here, we report observations of a glass transition in
semidilute F-actin solutions, which could hold the key to a
unified explanation of these phenomena. Combining suitable
rheological protocols with high-precision dynamic light
scattering, we can establish a remarkable rheological
redundancy and trace it back to a highly universal
exponential stretching of the single-polymer relaxation
spectrum of a "glassy wormlike chain." By exploiting the
ensuing generalized time-temperature superposition
principle, the time domain accessible to microrheometry can
be extended by several orders of magnitude, thus opening
promising new metrological opportunities.},
