Have a look at our latest news:
IMPETUX AT BIOMECHANICS CONFERENCE
If you are interested in new cutting edge mechanobiology technology can’t miss the scientific talk our CTO will be giving at the BIOMECHANICS CONFERENCE, on may the 6th, at 17:25h entitled: Cell nucleus indentation, micro-rheology, tether pulling & other cell mechanobiology applications of the SENSOCELL optical tweezers platform.
Stochastic force dynamics generated by a Chlamydomonas microswimmer study with IMPETUX’s exclusive patented technology
Here, we share an interesting publication where the authors study the stochastic force dynamics of a model microswimmer algae (Chlamydomonas reinhardtii). For the experimental work, they directly measured the stochastic forces generated by these algae using an optical trap via the photon momentum method.
Rheological measurements to understand Cell-ECM interactions with SENSOCELL
An interesting project story: the team led by Dr Pere Roca-Cusachs at IBEC is already achieving important goals and performing amazing experiments. They have been doing rheological measurements to understand Cell-ECM interactions and see how they can alter the mechanical properties of the cell cytoeskeleton with SENSOCELL.
Microrheology experiments with IMPETUX’s exclusive patented technology
Here, we share an interesting preprint from Dr. Betz’s group entitled where the authors use optical tweezers to show intracellular softening, fluidification and decrease of active forces in mitosis that is mediated by a surprising role switch between microtubules and actin.
SENSOCELL to study mechanical properties of neurons during C. elegans locomotion
This 2021 starts with a new preprint available from the Neurophotonics & Mechanical Systems Biology group at ICFO whose main research goal is to understand cell mechanical properties for health and disease on the molecular and systems level using Caenorhabditis (C.) elegans.
The characterization of cell membrane elasticity as a new potential biomarker for leukemia cells with IMPETUX technology
Researchers from the Optics Research Unit at De La Salle University and AIST-Osaka University have recently published and study where they have used a customized optical trapping system from IMPETUX to characterize cell membrane elasticity.
