Mechanics and dynamics of biological adhesion
Mechanics and dynamics of cellular contacts
In a further study on cellular contacts and in collaboration with the Luther-group, the goal is to use ECIS setups to obtain quantitative results on the electromechanical coupling and connectivity of primary co-cultures of rat cardiac myocytes and Fibroblasts in vitro. We analyze cardiac contraction dynamics with the ECIS method and combine it with confocal microscopy as shown in Figure 5.
