Chattez avec Graph Search
Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
Sequential stages in the life cycle of the ionotropic 5-HT3 receptor (5-HT3R) were resolved temporally and spatially in live cells by multicolor fluorescence confocal microscopy. The insertion of the enhanced cyan fluorescent protein into the large intrace ...
Interactions of cell adhesions, Rho GTPases and actin in the endothelial cells' response to external forces are complex and not fully understood, but a qualitative understanding of the mechanosensory response begins to emerge. Here, we formulate a mathemat ...
To characterize the dynamics of cell-substrate adhesive rupture, we used a novel micromanipulation technique, in which individual fibroblasts seized on a rigid microplate were placed into contact with a fibronectin-coated flexible microplate, then pulled a ...
To illuminate the effect of titanium particles on osteoblast function, we compared the adhesion force of neonatal rat calvarial osteoblasts on fibronectin-coated glass after incubation with titanium particles (80% had diameters of less than 5 microm). The ...
We have expressed the 5-HT3 receptor with two transient expression sytems: the Semliki Forest virus and the HEK293EBNA. Both systems allow the rapid expression of functional receptor protein at very high level: up to 107 receptors per cell. Large scale pro ...
Classically, cellular signalling is investigated measuring different optical or elec. properties of either single cells or microliter vols. of suspensions of live cells. Here we show how ligand binding to cell surface receptors and subsequent signalling re ...
The spatial control of neuronal cell attachment and differentiation via specific receptor mediated interactions, may provide an effective means for the in vitro reconstruction of neuronal cell architecture. In this study, receptor-specific oligopeptide seq ...
Cultured myofibroblasts are characterized by stress fibers, containing alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) and by supermature focal adhesions (FAs), which are larger than FAs of alpha-SMA-negative fibroblasts. We have investigated the role of alpha-SMA f ...
Ligand-gated ion channels of the Cys loop family are receptors for small amine-contg. neurotransmitters. Charged amino acids are strongly conserved in the ligand-binding domain of these receptor proteins. To investigate the role of particular residues in l ...
