SENSOCELL used to demonstrate the mechanism tissues use to regulate their sensitivity to mechanical signals

A new publication recently released shows how our OT platform SENSOCELL is used to demonstrate the mechanism tissues use to regulate their sensitivity to mechanical signals.
The labs of Pere Roca-Cusachs and Xavier Trepat (IBEC) use SENSOCELL to perform active microrheology experiments and investigate how laminin-integrin links influence mechanotransduction in mammary epithelial cells.

Mechanical cues trigger neuronal activity and ion channel receptors

Finally! The latest paper from the Neurophotonics & Mechanical Systems Biology group at ICFO has been published in SCIENCE ADVANCES. In this work entitled “An asymmetric mechanical code ciphers curvature-dependent proprioceptor activity”, the mechanical activation of neuronal activity in C. elegans is studied by means of genome editing, modelling and direct force spectroscopy integrated in SENSOCELL optical tweezers.
