Spreading Processes in Complex Networks of Cultured Neurons and Society
(2023-12-22)Complex networks appear across various contexts of our lives. Telecommunication, transport, infrastructure and finance are candidates to come to mind, and we humans ourselves, just going about our day as usual, meeting ... -
Dissecting synaptic mechanisms of sound encoding in the mouse cochlea
(2019-05-23)Cochlear inner hair cells (IHCs) are the genuine sensory receptors that translate sound-borne cochlear vibrations into neuronal signals via ribbon synapses with the spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs). The precise mechanisms ... -
The reconstitution of visual cortical feature selectivity <i>in vitro</i>
(2018-02-09)Information processing in the nervous system requires the co-ordinated activity of neurons interacting in complex circuits. Despite effort to understand the design principles underlying most neuronal circuits, they remain ... -
Mechanical and biochemical stimulation of suspended cells in a microfluidic device probed with dual optical tweezers
(2018-01-30)Cells communicate with their environment through biochemical and mechanical interactions. They can respond to stimuli by undergoing shape- and, in some situations, volume changes. Key determinants of the mechanical response ... -
Single-Molecule Metal-Induced Energy Transfer: From Basics to Applications
(2016-12-16)Single-molecule detection and spectroscopy have revolutionized the field of fluorescence microscopy. Due to their enormous potential in studying physics, chemistry and biology at molecular level, the number of single-molecule ... -
A Detailed Study of Axon Initial Segment Maturation and Structural Organization by Fluorescence Microscopy
(2016-02-03)The distribution and density of neuronal voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) is important for neuronal excitability, maturation and plasticity. High density of VGSCs in the axon initial segment (AIS) depends on the ... -
Mechanics & Dynamics of the Primary Cilium
(2013-09-09)Recent studies have shown that the primary cilium, long thought to be a vestigial organelle with no function, is involved in a multitude of sensory functions. One example, interesting from both biophysical and medical ...
