Cell Physics 2019

IMPETUX at Cell Physics

From the 9th to the 11th of October we will have the pleasure to be at Cell Physics 2019 at the Saarland University in Saarbrücken, Germany. A conference organized by the Collaborative Research Center SFB 1027 “Physical modeling of non-equilibrium processes in biological systems”.

There, we will be delighted to share with you all the news related with our systems, the solutions and the amazing new opportunities they offer related with Cell mechanics, mechanobiology, cell adhesion, cell membrane and onco-immunology. Do not lose the opportunity to visit us!.

Time dependence of trap position (top), force signal (middle) and Ca2+ fluorescence signal (bottom) recorded during a membrane tether pulling experiment. The force and Ca2+ ion channel activity signals exhibit negative correlation.

Fig. 2

Force and displacement data for two beads stimulated at frequencies of 4 Hz and 0.25 Hz. The progressive reduction of the beads displacement is in concomitancy with an increase of the applied force and loading rate.
