EMBO | EMBL Symposium : Life at the Periphery

 

EMBO|EMBL Symposium: Life at the Periphery: Mechanobiology of the Cell Surface 

📅DATE: March 2-3, 2021

The first event of this 2021 in which IMPETUX will be present will be virtual and will be the EMBO|EMBL Symposium.: Life at the Periphery: Mechanobiology of the Cell Surface 

We will be participating with a talk and a virtual booth.

The talk will be 🎥 pre-recorded and made available to registered participants 10 days before the start of the conference.

📅March 3, at 13:40 we will be on live discussion session to answer all your questions.

The virtual booth webpage will available soon!

A great opportunity to meet comfortably from wherever you want!

You can head over to the event website to check out the program and register here.

📌If you are interested in how our optical tweezers system: SENSOCELL can be combined with spinning disk confocal technology for cell nucleus indentation experiments, neuron mechanosensation studies or cell micro-rheology measurements among others applications,  do not hesitate to join us!

Time remaining before the start of this event:

Time dependence of trap position (top), force signal (middle) and Ca2+ fluorescence signal (bottom) recorded during a membrane tether pulling experiment. The force and Ca2+ ion channel activity signals exhibit negative correlation.

Fig. 2

Force and displacement data for two beads stimulated at frequencies of 4 Hz and 0.25 Hz. The progressive reduction of the beads displacement is in concomitancy with an increase of the applied force and loading rate.
