Technology assessment and feasibility study of high-throughput single cell force spectroscopy
… mechanical properties correlate closely with the intracellular organelle arrangement and organization, which are determined by load bearing cytoskeleton network comprised of biommolecules. This thesis will assess the feasibility of a high throughput single cell force spectroscopy using an atomic …

Effects of magnesium and calcium upon excitation-contraction coupling in the heart
… determining the force of cardiac contraction. An intracellular organelle, the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), regulates the relaxation of the muscle as well as acting as a source of activating Ca2 during excitation-contraction coupling. Calcium metabolism in the heart undergoes developmental changes …

Disrupting dynamic f-actin enhances skeletal muscle contraction due to mechanical softening
… loss of mechanical integrity, cell death, and intracellular organelle damage. None of these downsides actually present themselves with f-actin disruption. Muscle fatigue resistance however does seem to be slightly affected. We performed a detailed characterization of the cytoskeletal …

Asymmetrical transmembrane potential in intracellular organelles of adrenal chromaffin cells exposed to nanosecond electric pulses
… cells by creating nanopores in the cell and intracellular organelle membranes, making these membranes permeable to certain ions. A chromaffin cell contains, at a minimum, 7000 secretory granules plus other organelles such as mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum. In all the biological …
