Epithelial Cells under Mechanical Strain: an Investigation
(2022-06-29)Cells are the minimal living unit of the body. Each cell plays a vital role that must withstand various stresses, from chemical environments to mechanical strain and temperature variations. One of these vital cell types ... -
Active Matter in Confined Geometries - Biophysics of Artificial Minimal Cortices
(2020-12-18)Essential physiological processes, such as cell motility, adhesion, growth and differentiation are determined by the ability of cells to modify their mechanical properties. Consequently, both the vitality as well as ... -
A Force Spectroscopy Setup to Mimic Cellular Interaction Processes
(2013-06-21)The main objective of this thesis was to establish a biophysical model system that permits to quantify forces involved in cell-cell contacts and cell-substrate-adhesion in a native-like fashion. For this purpose, colloidal ... -
Membrane mechanics governs cell mechanics in epithelial cell: how surface area regulation ensures tension homeostasis
(2013-04-04)The plasma membrane tension in eukaryotic cells is supposed to be a major regulator of many cellular processes that involve changes in membrane area and membrane deformation including cell migration, mitosis, endo -and ...
