A mathematical finance approach to the stochastic and intermittent viscosity fluctuations in living cells
Claude L. Bostoen, Jean-François Berret
Here we report on the viscosity of eukaryotic living cells as a function of the time, and on the application of stochastic models to analyze its temporal fluctuations. The viscoela…
Compression and reswelling of microgel particles after an osmotic shock
Jelle F. Sleeboom, Panayiotis Voudouris, Melle T. J. J. M. Punter +4
We use dedicated microfluidic devices to expose soft hydrogel particles to a rapid change in the externally applied osmotic pressure and observe a non-monotonic response: After an…
Mechanics from Calorimetry: A New Probe of Elasticity for Responsive Hydrogels
Frank J. Aangenendt, Johan Mattsson, Wouter G. Ellenbroek +1
Temperature-sensitive hydrogels based on polymers such as poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) undergo a volume phase transition in response to changes in temperature. During this…
Actin Remodeling and Polymerization Forces Control Dendritic Spine Morphology
Karsten Miermans, Remy Kusters, Casper Hoogenraad +1
Dendritic spines are small membranous structures that protrude from the neuronal dendrite. Each spine contains a synaptic contact site that may connect its parent dendrite to the a…
Diffusing-Wave Spectroscopy in a Standard Dynamic Light Scattering Setup
Zahra Fahimi, Frank Aangenendt, Panayiotis Voudouris +2
Diffusing-Wave Spectroscopy (DWS) treats the transport of photons through turbid samples as a diffusion process, thereby making it possible to extract the dynamics of scatterers fr…
Microscopic Description of Entanglements in Polyethylene Networks and Melts: Strong, Weak, Pairwise, and Collective Attributes
Stefanos D. Anogiannakis, Christos Tzoumanekas, Doros N. Theodorou
We present atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of two Polyethylene systems where all entanglements are trapped: a perfect network, and a melt with grafted chain ends. We exami…
