CONFERENCES: Nanoengineering for Mechanobiology

CONFERENCES: Nanoengineering for Mechanobiology

IMPETUX will be present at the Nanoengineering for Mechanobiology symposium, hold on November 30- December 3, 2020  on-line.

We will be participating with an interesting talk on Monday the 30th of November:

 SENSOCELL: a novel optical tweezers concept for cell and tissue mechanobiology

There,  we will be answering all your questions during the Q&A scheduled Zoom sessions and at our virtual booth.

 If you are interested in our latest developments an applications of SENSOCELL, and how our distinctive technology can boost your research, do not hesitate to join us!

Where → Nanoengineering for Mechanobiology meeting, held entirely online

When →From Nov 30 to Dec 3, 2020

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.
