An acoustically-driven biochip: particle-cell interactions under physiological flow conditions [Abstract]

Introduction: The interaction of particulate drug carriers with cells has generally been assessed in stationary microplate assays. These setups fail to reflect the flow conditions in vivo which generate substantial hydrodynamic drag forces [1]. In order to address this shortcoming, a microfluidic biochip with the capability of imitating a wide range of shear rates and pulsation modes has been developed. This device, which is based on an incorporated surface acoustic wave pump, was used to study the interaction of targeted microparticles with epithelial cells under flow conditions

Dataset for "Collision of two action potentials in a single excitable cell"

This data set contains electrophysiological recordings from excitable plant cells (Chara Braunii). The experiments were conducted in order to understand if two action potentials penetrate or annihilate when they meet head on. A short description of the data including plotted measurements (controls and collision experiments) is provided in the file "1_data_overview.pdf". The raw data are contained in "1_raw_data.zip"
