Testing tube model predictions on semi-flexible polymer networks
(2023-11-13)The mechanical properties of simple entangled actin filament networks in eukaryotes are well understood as they are predictable with model systems. The high complexity of cellular actin structures like the cell cortex for ... -
Structure and Mechanics of Membrane-bound Vimentin Filaments and Networks under Strain
(2022-12-16)The shape and mechanical properties of eukaryotic cells are determined by the cytoskeleton, composed of actin filaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments (IFs). Among these, IFs are considered to be the main ... -
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 ... -
Verknüpfung zwischen Plasmamembran und Zytoskelett
(2016-09-22)The dynamic linkage between the plasma membrane and the underlying cytoskeleton of the cell is fundamental for cellular processes like cell morphogenesis, cell motility and cell adhesion. Ezrin as a member of the ERM ... -
Spezifität der Wechselwirkung von Collybistin 2 mit Phosphatidylinositolphosphaten: Einfluss der verschiedenen Proteindomänen
(2015-05-27)Collybistin, a brain-specific GEF, is required for gephyrin clustering at the postsynaptic membrane. This is important for the correct arrangement of GABAA and glycine receptors. Binding of collybistin to a membrane is ... -
Ezrin activation in vitro: Investigation of ezrin's conformation and the interaction between ezrin and F-actin
(2013-12-19)The function of ezrin, a member of the ezrin-radixin-moesin (ERM) protein family, is to regulate the cell membrane architecture within the context of fundamental biological processes by linking the membrane and the actin ... -
Mechanik und Dynamik biologischer Modellsysteme am Beispiel aktingefüllter Vesikel und synchroner Zellmigration von Dictyostelium discoideum
(2013-02-06)This thesis analyzes the dynamics of cell contacts of synchronic cells and the mechanical characteristics of the plasma membrane on the basis of two different model systems. The first model system consisting of the amoebae ... -
Adaptive Aggregation and Chirality Recognition of Neuroactive Substances and their Building Blocks: A Vibrational Spectroscopic and Microscopic Study
(2012-07-24)A sublimation cell for the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microspectroscopic characterization of microcrystals was constructed and tested on methyl mandelate and mandelic acid. Spectral assignments and the determination ...
