Two very important IFs are keratin and vimentin, which have similar molecular architectures but different mechanical behaviors. Here we compare the mechanical response of single keratin and vimentin filaments using optical tweezers. We show that the mechanics of vimentin strongly depends on the ionic strength of the buffer and that its force-strain curve suggests a high degree of cooperativity between subunits. Indeed, a computational model indicates that in contrast to keratin, vimentin is characterized by strong lateral subunit coupling of its charged monomers during unfolding of α helices. We conclude that cells can tune their mechanics by differential use of keratin versus vimentin."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1103/PhysRevLett.123.188102"],["dc.identifier.eissn","1079-7114"],["dc.identifier.issn","0031-9007"],["dc.identifier.pmid","31763918"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/75854"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI Import GROB-354"],["dc.relation","info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/724932/EU//MECHANICS"],["dc.relation.eissn","1079-7114"],["dc.relation.issn","0031-9007"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Physik"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Institut für Röntgenphysik"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Köster (Cellular Biophysics)"],["dc.rights","CC BY-NC-ND 4.0"],["dc.rights.access","openAccess"],["dc.rights.uri","http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/"],["dc.subject","intermediate filaments; optical tweezers; atomic force microscopy; cytoskeleton; biomechanics; Monte Carlo simulation"],["dc.subject.ddc","530"],["dc.subject.gro","cytoskeleton"],["dc.subject.gro","cellular biophysics"],["dc.title","Lateral Subunit Coupling Determines Intermediate Filament Mechanics"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","submitted_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI PMID PMC2009Journal Article [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","18"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.issue","1"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","METHODS OF INFORMATION IN MEDICINE"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.lastpage","28"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","48"],["dc.contributor.author","Witte, H."],["dc.contributor.author","Ungureanu, M."],["dc.contributor.author","Ligges, C."],["dc.contributor.author","Hemmelmann, D."],["dc.contributor.author","Wuestenberg, Torsten"],["dc.contributor.author","Reichenbach, J."],["dc.contributor.author","Astolfi, L."],["dc.contributor.author","Babiloni, F."],["dc.contributor.author","Leistritz, L."],["dc.date.accessioned","2018-11-07T08:35:07Z"],["dc.date.available","2018-11-07T08:35:07Z"],["dc.date.issued","2009"],["dc.description.abstract","Objectives: The main objective is to show current topics and future trends in the field of medical signal processing which are derived from current research concepts. Signal processing as an integrative concept within the scope of medical informatics is demonstrated, Methods: For all examples time-variant multivariate autoregressive models were used. Based on this modeling, the concept of Granger causality in terms of the time-variant Granger causality index and the time-variant partial directed coherence was realized to investigate directed information transfer between different brain regions. Results: Signal informatics encompasses several diverse domains including: processing steps, methodologies, levels and subject fields, and applications. Five trends can be recognized and in order to illustrate these trends, three analysis strategies derived from current neuroscientific studies are presented. These examples comprise high-dimensional fMRI and EEG data. In the first example, the quantification of time-variant-directed information transfer between activated brain regions on the basis of fast-fMRI data is introduced and discussed. The second example deals with the investigation of differences in word processing between dyslexic and normal reading children. Different dynamic neural networks of the directed information transfer are identified on the basis of event-related potentials.

Single-shot fMRI data of a single image slice with short repetition times (200 ms, 16000 frames/subject, 64x64 voxels) were acquired from 5 healthy subjects during an externally-driven, self-paced finger-tapping paradigm (57-59 single taps for each subject). BOLD signals were derived from the pre-supplementary motor area (preSMA), the supplementary motor area (SMA), and the primary motor cortex (M1). The simulations were carried out by means of a Dynamic Causal Modelling (DCM) approach. The tvGCI as well as time-variant Partial Directed Coherence (tvPDC) were used to identify the modelled connectivity network (connectivity structure - CS - of the DCM). Different CSs were applied by using dynamic systems (Generalized Dynamic Neural Network - GDNN) and trivariate autoregressive (AR) processes. The influence of the low-pass characteristics of the simulated hemodynamic response (Balloon model) and of the measuring noise was tested. Additionally, our modelling strategy considered \"spontaneous\" BOLD fluctuations before, during, and after the appearance of the event-related BOLD component. Couplings which were extracted from the simulated signals were statistically evaluated (tvGCI for shuffled data, confidence tubes for tvGCI courses). We demonstrate that connections of our CS models can be correctly identified during the event-related BOLD component and with signal-to-noise-ratios corresponding to those of the measured data. The results based on simulations can be used to examine the reliability of connectivity identification based on BOLD signals by means of time-variant as well as time-invariant connectivity measures and enable a better interpretation of the analysis results using fMRI data. A readiness-BOLD response was only detected in one subject. However, in two subjects a strong time-variant connection (tvGCI) from preSMA to SMA was observed 3 s before the tapping was executed. This connection was accompanied by a weaker rise of the tvGCI from preSMA to M1. These preceding interrelations were confirmed in the other subjects by the dynamics of tvGCI courses. Based on the results of tvGCI analysis, the time-evolution of an individual connectivity network is shown for each subject.

The exploration of directed information transfer (interactions) between neuronal assemblies is one of the most important aims of current functional MRI (fMRI) analysis. Additionally, we examined perfusion maps in dynamic contrast agent MRI sequences of stroke patients. In this investigation, the focus centres on distinguishing between brain areas with normal and reduced perfusion on the basis of the dynamics of contrast agent flow and washout. Methods: Fast fMRI sequences were analyzed with time-varient autoregressive model and is used for the quantification of the directed information transfer between activated brain areas. Generalized Dynamic Neural Networks (GDNN) with time-varient weights were applied on dynamic contrast agent MRI sequences as a nonlinear operator in order to enhance differences in the signal courses of pixels of normal and injured tissues. Results: A simple motor task (self-paced finger tapping) is used in an fMRI design to investigate directed interactions between defined brain areas. A significant information transfer can be determined for the direction primary motor cortex to supplementary motor area during a short time period of about five seconds after stimulus. The analysis of dynamic contrast agent MRI sequences demonstrates that the trained GDNN enables a reliable tissue classification.
