Mechanotransduction measurements in cells Modern instrumentation (phy 651) symposium Department of physics, Syracuse University EleniKinfeDegaga
Introduction • Mechanotransduction? • How do the cells respond? • During differentiation how do the cells decide what they want to be? • Structure, dynamics and function
The Membrane Skeleton of Cells Cell Membrane Cell Substrate/Environment Mechanical Forces between Cell and Substrate Ankyrin Spectrin Actin P55 4.1 βspectrin αspectrin
Khan, S., and Sheetz, M. P. (1997), Annu. Rev. Biochem. 66, 785–805
Objective? - Measuring mechanical stimuli pressure, Force, Temperature, light intensity, humidity, And the biological component Strain, Elasticity, rigidity, stress, tension,Young's Modulus
LabVIEW application to mechanotrunsduction • For atomization of mechanical stimulus application • Measuring the physical characteristics of the stimulus and the biological component • Simulation of possible mathematical models relating the mecanotransduction and the cell dynamics
Strain measurement simulation • Required materials • LabVIEW 2009 containing - Control Design toolkit 2.1 -Simulation module 8.2 -Strain gauge and half bridge circuit -Biological organ sample
Mathematical model V1= [R3/(R3+R4)-R2/(R1+R2)] V2=[RG+changeinR/2RG-R2/(R1+R2)]Vex Strain= 2(V2-V1)/VEx(Gf)
PID controller • Proportional, Integral and differential controlling • Proportional (Kp):- reduce rise time & steady state error • Integral (Ki):- Eliminates the steady state error, reduces the rise time, inreases settling time • Differential (Kd):- Increases the stability, reduce overshoot
