QC01 Mechanics / mechanika

The possibility to directly measure the elasticity of living cell has emerged only in the
last few decades. In the present study the elastic properties of two cell lines were followed.
Both types are widely used as cell barrier models (e.g. blood-brain barrier). During time
resolved measurement of the living cell elasticity a continuous quasi-periodic oscillation of
the elastic modulus was observed. Fast Fourier transformation of the signals revealed that a
very limited number of three to five Fourier terms fitted the signal in the case of human
cerebral endothelial cells. In the case of canine kidney epithelial cells more than 8 Fourier
terms did not result a good fit. Calculating the correlation between nucleus and periphery of
the signals revealed a higher correlation factor for the endothelial cells compared to the
epithelial cells.
