    • High-bandwidth microrheology of cytoskeletal networks 

      Bremerich, Marcel (2012-02-08)
      The understanding of the material properties, the organization and the assembly of the cytoskeleton remains challenging. In this thesis the viscoelastic properties of cytoskeletal networks ...
    • Intracellular micromechanics of the syncytial Drosophila embryo 

      Weßel, Daniel Rene Alok (2015-09-28)
      A developing embryo is a striking and fascinating example of self-organization and collective behavior of biological matter. In the presented work, I investigated the cytoplasmic interior of Drosophila melanogaster ...
    • Investigation of voltage- and light-sensitive ion channels 

      Fromme, Ulrich (2016-08-09)
      In this work, the properties of ion channels in biological membranes are characterized. Two systems are investigated: The conductance changes of the membrane of the axon initial segment (AIS) due to fast sodium channels, ...
    • Lab-on-chip design to characterize pore-spanning lipid bilayers 

      Kaufeld, Theresa (2013-11-26)
      A powerful approach to study membrane proteins is the reconstitution in model membranes. Methods for arti cial bilayer formation are e.g. membranes on a solid support, or the classical BLM. In this project, the focus was ...
    • Mechanical Properties of the lch5 Organ in the Drosophila Larva 

      Prahlad, Achintya (2017-09-08)
      I begin with a brief account of the topic of mechanosensation, followed by an outline of how the project evolved. The experimental techniques used and their rationale are described. The section ends with a short description ...
    • Molecular DNA Sensors to Measure Distribution of Cytoskeletal Forces 

      Jayachandran, Christina (2020-08-24)
      Actin, a major cytoskeletal biopolymer in eukaryotic cells, is crosslinked into networks of filaments and bundles. These networks are largely responsible for the maintenance of cellular shape, rigidity, and mechanical ...
    • Single-molecule measurements of Kinesin motor proteins 

      Düselder, André (2014-03-13)
      This thesis covers the developments and new findings on different regulatory processes in Kinesin-5 motor proteins. The first two chapters give a general introduction into motor proteins and some of the well established ...
