Modulation of the cardiomyocyte contraction inside a hydrostatic pressure bioreactor: $\textit{in vitro}$ verification of the Frank-Starling law
We have studied beating mouse cardiac syncytia $\textit{in vitro}$ in order to assess the inotropic, ergotropic, and chronotropic effects of both increasing and decreasing hydrostatic pressures. In particular, we have performed an image processing analysis to evaluate the kinematics and the dynamics of those pressure-loaded beating syncytia starting from the video registration of their contraction movement. By this analysis, we have verified the Frank-Starling law of the heart in $\textit{in vitro}$ beating cardiac syncytia and we have obtained their geometrical-functional classification.

A Tale of Two Desolvation Potentials: An Investigation of Protein Behavior Under High Hydrostatic Pressure
Hydrostatic pressure is a common perturbation to probe the conformations of proteins. There are two common forms of pressure dependent potentials of mean force (PMFs) derived from hydrophobic molecules available for the …
Protein FoldingCa2+ release via IP3 receptors shapes the cytosolic Ca2+ transient for hypertrophic signalling in ventricular cardiomyocytes
Calcium (Ca2+) plays a central role in mediating both contractile function and hypertrophic signalling in ventricular cardiomyocytes. L-type Ca2+ channels trigger release of Ca2+ from ryanodine receptors (RyRs) for cellu…
Hemodynamic Bigger Hydrostatic Pressure Instead of Lower Shear Stress Aggravates Atherosclerosis
The traditional view is that low shear stress of blood flow accelerates atherosclerosis. How does a low shear stress damage the vessel or aggravate atherosclerosis? It is a puzzling question. Furthermore, shear stress of…
Pressure and temperature dependence of fluorescence anisotropy of Green Fluorescent Protein
We have studied the effect of high hydrostatic pressure and temperature on the steady state fluorescence anisotropy of Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP). We find that the fluorescence anisotropy of GFP at a constant temper…
Optimization of Operation Strategy for Primary Torque based hydrostatic Drivetrain using Artificial Intelligence
A new primary torque control concept for hydrostatics mobile machines was introduced in 2018. The mentioned concept controls the pressure in a closed circuit by changing the angle of the hydraulic pump to achieve the des…
