Impetux at Nanoengineering for Mechanobiology N4M 2022

We will be at Nanoengineering for Mechanobiology N4M 2022 edition

If you are a researcher in Mechanobiology or an enthusiast of Engineering and Cell Biology, you cannot miss the conference Nanoengineering for Mechanobiology N4M 2022 edition organized by Massimo Vassalli (Glasgow University) and that will take place in the beautiful town of Camogli (Italy).

📅DATE: 27 to 31 March 2022 (CEST)

The scientific program is incredible and the list of experts attending amazing!

You will find more information on the meeting here

Planning to attend?

We invite you to join our talk on Monday 28th March 2022 at 12:00h:

“Extending Optical Tweezers from extracellular to intracelular Cell Mechanics”

to learn more about SENSOCELL unique capabilities and especial applications.

You are also very welcome to stop by at our booth to discuss more about how can our technology be of help in your research!

Lets meet there!

 

📌In the mean time: Want to know how SENSOCELL optical tweezers enables unprecedented experiments in Mechanobiology research? Check our applications page or contact us and let’s have a quick chat!

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.
