Episode 3: Insights of a Scientist, Nanomechanics in Living Cells
In this episode, Prof. Kristina Kusche-Vihrog, Director of the Lübeck Institute of Physiology, Germany, speaks about her fascinating work investigating the nanomechanical properties of cells, their role in physiological mechanisms and implications for medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease and hypertension.
She discusses the importance of endothelial cell stiffness in health, the role of the glycocalyx, and the impact of inflammatory processes on endothelial dysfunction. This episode explores bench-to-bedside AFM applications and potential future advancements in clinical diagnostics.
