Description

Student can explain the principles of cellular electrophysiology and mechanobiology, and their measurement techniques. Student understands the fundamentals of biomechanics of the extracellular environment (extracellular matrix: its components), cellular mechanics (force generation and force sensing), electrophysiological properties of cells and tissues as well as the relevant cellular components (ion channels, transporters). Student can analyze, calculate and model mechanobiological and electrophysiological phenomena at the cellular level.

Core content

Extracellular matrix components
Force generation in the cells
Force sensing in the cells
Electrophysiological properties of cells and tissues
Electrical signaling in the cell and between the cells

Complementary knowledge

Cell attachement to the extracellular matrix
Cellular components that are involved in the process
Cellular components involved in electrophysiological phenomena
Electrical signal propagation in tissues

Specialist knowledge

Extracellular matrix biomechanics
How forces are transduced within the cells
How forces are sensed in multicellular level
Electrophysiological measurement techniques
Measurement of electrical cell-cell signaling
