NEWS
>> Outreach: Our interdisciplinary team of six research groups at the Institute for Theoretical Medicine and the Institute of Physics will offer a 4-day lab course for 15 motivated pupils from all over Bavaria to learn about the application of fluorescence spanning from LED to retinal tissue! Details will follow soon.
>> Research: Congratulations Michelle and Manu2! Our interdisciplinary paper "NeuroCellCentreDB: Exploring a Novel Dataset for Neuron-like Cell Centre Detection with Deep Neural Networks" with the Schuller Group has been accepted for presentation at the 45th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC'23) in Sydney Australia!
Neuroblastoma Cells on a chip
Employing AI to detect the center of neuroblastoma cells migrating in an acoustic force field
>> Research: Congratulations Simon and Nico! Our method chapter "Cell membrane state, permeability and elasticity assessment for single cells and cell ensembles" as part of the book "Methods in Molecular Biology - Cell Viability Assays" will appear soon!
>> Research: Congratulations Nico, Julian and Jonas! Our paper "Transport across cell membranes is modulated by lipid order" has been accepted and will appeared soon in Advanced Biology!
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/adbi.202200282
Key findings:
- The local environment modulates cell membrane phase state
- High cell density increases cell membrane lipid order
- Cell membrane lipid order correlates with membrane transport
- Cells adapt membrane transport by phase state adaptation
- Membrane transport is reduced during in vitro wound closure
>> Research: Congratulations Kathi! Our review paper "Recent Advances of Surface Acoustic Waves-based Sensors for Non-Invasive Cell Analysis" has been accepted and will appear soon in Current Opinion in Biotechnology!
