In situ single cell detection via microfluidic magnetic bead assay
We present a single cell detection device based on magnetic bead assay and micro Coulter counters. This device consists of two successive micro Coulter counters, coupled with a high gradient magnetic field generated by an external magnet. The device can identify single cells in terms of the transit time difference of the cell through the two micro Coulter counters. Target cells are conjugated w...
متن کاملAdaptation of cardiac myocyte contractile properties to exercise training.
Recent work suggests that chronic exercise induces alterations in the contractile properties of cardiac myocytes. These alterations include increased sensitivity to activation by Ca, changes in the force-length relationship, and increased power output. A recently observed shift in expression of myosin light chain 1 subunit isoforms induced by training may provide a molecular mechanism for these...
متن کاملCaspase inhibition reduces cardiac myocyte dyshomeostasis and improves cardiac contractile function after major burn injury.
In the heart, thermal injury activates a group of intracellular cysteine proteases known as caspases, which have been suggested to contribute to myocyte inflammation and dyshomeostasis. In this study, Sprague-Dawley rats were given either a third-degree burn over 40% total body surface area plus conventional fluid resuscitation or sham burn injury. Experimental groups included 1) sham burn give...
متن کاملA force transducer for measuring mechanical properties of single cardiac myocytes.
We have described a transducer design capable of recording forces generated by single cardiac myocytes with sufficient temporal resolution to detect force responses to rapid length changes. Our force sensors were made from thin steel foils that act as cantilevers whose bending is monitored by reflection off a laser beam. Deflection of the laser beam is measured by a differential photodiode dete...
متن کاملComparative Quantification of Contractile Force of Cardiac Muscle Using a Micro-mechanical Force Sensing System
To facilitate the cell based robot research, we presented a micro-mechanical force measurement system for the biological muscle actuators, which utilize glucose as a power source for potential application in a human body or blood vessels. The system is composed of a micro-manipulator, a force transducer with a glass probe, a signal processor, an inverted microscope and video recoding system. Us...
