This project investigates the impact of a virtual zero gravity experience on the human gravity model. In the planned experiment, subjects are immersed with HMD and full body motion capture in a virtual world exhibiting either normal gravity or the apparent ...
The expanding generation of dynamic biological data requires approaches that integrate and analyze information from different types of cellular processes –metabolism, regulation, and signaling–, and ultimately increase our insights into the cell behavior u ...
Protein synthesis is an energy-demanding cellular process. Consequently, a well-timed, fine-tuned and plastic regulation of translation is needed to adjust and maintain cell states under dynamically changing environments. Genome-wide monitoring of translat ...
Numerous diseases affecting living beings have as a cause a modification of gene expression resulting in anomalous expression of proteins in up- or down-regulated fashion, with altered functions or expression of proteins that are not present in the cell in ...
What is the relevance of the body and body-transformed sensory information for subjective experience? In the last two decades, paradigms from cognitive neuroscience have demonstrated that the subjective sensations of possessing a body (body ownership, BO), ...
By live-cell imaging of biological samples dynamic cellular processes can be resolved. Fluorescence microscopy (FM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) are both capable of imaging live cells. By combining these techniques structural as well as functional inf ...
Fast liquid jets, called micro-jets, are produced within cavitation bubbles experiencing an aspherical collapse. Here we review micro-jets of different origins, scales and appearances, and propose a unified framework to describe their dynamics by using an ...
Red blood cell (RBC) phase images that are numerically reconstructed by digital holographic microscopy (DHM) can describe the cell structure and dynamics information beneficial for a quantitative analysis of RBCs. However, RBCs investigated with time-lapse ...
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are responsible for life-long production of all mature blood cells. This unique characteristic makes them an ideal candidate for cell-based therapies to treat various hematological malignancies. Their extensive use in the cl ...
