How membrane receptors transduce external signals across the membrane and activate intracellular processes is a key question for fundamental research and for therapeutic purposes. Reliable in situ investigations requiest to preserve the full biological act ...
Cell membrane receptors and ion channels are essential in many different cellular processes. To analyse the activity of membrane proteins in vesicles and biological cells, we fabricated micro- nanostructured chips, enabling the application of electrophysio ...
Many fundamental processes that govern the function of biological cells occur on or immediately under the cell membrane. Fluorescence marking of specific sites has had a large impact in the recognition of these processes. In addition, observation in an app ...
In this thesis, a new microfabricated flow cytometer for single cell discrimination based on dielectric spectroscopy is presented. Integrated tools for rapid in-flow cell handling are also demonstrated. Signal amplification and analysis as well as the chip ...
Many central biol. signal transduction processes such as synaptic transmission occur at the level of cell membranes. It is therefore not surprising that the biol. function of membrane proteins in general and neuroreceptors in particular can be modulated by ...
The uptake of zinc by cerebellar rat cultures upon exposure to ZnCl2 solutions was comparatively investigated using two well known condensed matter physics techniques: synchrotron photoelectron spectromicroscopy and inductively coupled plasma atomic emissi ...
Within the overall objective of developing a low dead volume technology for basic microfluidic valving, shunting and switching functionalities, the use of microbubbles is proposed. As a case study, a normally-closed, bubble-based microvalve design is prese ...
The lateral organization of a prototypical G protein-coupled receptor, the neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1R), was investigated in living cells by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) microscopy, taking advantage of the recently developed acyl carrier p ...
