  1. 11. Patterning and Controlled Adhesion of Cells and Lipid Nanotube Vesicle Networks by Microfabricated Substrates

    Författare :Johan Hurtig; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Networks of nanotubes and vesicles offer a platform for construction of nanofluidic devicesoperating on single molecule and particle level. Here one has the opportunity to study chemistryin confined biomimetic compartments in an environment as close to nature as possible withoutgoing in-vivo. LÄS MER

  2. 12. Lipid Nanotubes as a Model for Highly Curved Cellular Membrane Structures

    Författare :Natalia Stepanyants; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Cells and their organelles show a variety of membrane morphologies with multiplesubmicrometer features, for example, tubules, vesicles, folds and pores. The shape of thecellular membranes can dynamically change to support a variety of functions, such as cargotransport, transmission of signals between the cells, cell movement and division. LÄS MER

  3. 13. Reaction and Diffusion Phenomena in Biomimetic Nanoscale Reactors and Networks

    Författare :Kristin Sott; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; artificial cell; restricted geometries.; enzymatic reactions; micromanipulation; biomimetic; nanotubes; diffusion; Vesicles; networks; liposomes;

    Sammanfattning : Methods for construction of geometrically complex, fully connected surface-immobilized microscopic networks of phospholipid bilayer vesicles (1-50 µm in diameter) interconnected by lipid nanotubes (100-300 nm in diameter), have been developed. The networks have controlled connectivity and are well-defined with regard to the container size, content, angle between nanotube extensions, and nanotube length. LÄS MER

  4. 14. The Mechanisms of Exocytosis Studied in Cells and Models with Amperometry

    Författare :Lisa J. Mellander; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Exocytosis; Electrochemistry; Cells; Cell models; Phospholipids;

    Sammanfattning : Exocytosis is the universal basis for neuronal communication, allowing the controlled release of neurotransmitter molecules from the presynaptic cell. Exocytosis has been widely studied in many systems. However, the details of this vital process are not fully understood. LÄS MER
