Unitary response of solvatochromic dye to pulse excitation in lipid and cell membranes
Simon Fabiunke, Christian Fillafer, Matthias F. Schneider
The existence of acoustic pulse propagation in lipid monolayers at the air-water interface is well known. These pulses are controlled by the thermodynamic state of the lipid membra…
Surface Deformation During an Action Potential in Pearled Cells
Matan Mussel, Christian Fillafer, Gal Ben-Porath +1
Electric pulses in biological cells (action potentials) have been reported to be accompanied by a propagating cell-surface deformation with a nano-scale amplitude. Typically, this…
Sharp, localized phase transitions in single neuronal cells
Carina S. Fedosejevs, Matthias F. Schneider
The origin of nonlinear responses in cells has been suggested to be crucial for various cell functions including the propagation of the nervous impulse. In physics nonlinear behavi…
This is not about the molecules -- On the Violation of Momentum Conservation in Biology. A short comment
Matthias Ferdinand Schneider
Conservation laws are the pillars of physics. It's what we held on to when our imagination was challenged during the days of relativity or quantum mechanics. Their violation leads…
The living state: how cellular excitability is controlled by the thermodynamic state of the membrane
Christian Fillafer, Anne Paeger, Matthias F. Schneider
The thermodynamic (TD) properties of biological membranes play a central role for living systems. It has been suggested, for instance, that nonlinear pulses such as action potentia…
It sounds like an action potential: unification of electrical, chemical and mechanical aspects of acoustic pulses in lipids
Matan Mussel, Matthias F. Schneider
In an ongoing debate on the physical nature of the action potential, one group adheres to the electrical model of Hodgkin and Huxley, while the other describes the action potential…
