Positron emission tomography is a noninvasive research technique used in medicine to measure the three-dimensional distribution of the biologically active substances, marked with a positron emitter in the living body.…

This paper describes the phenomena of cell fusion: it’s importance in life processes and the use of electromagnetic field in induced electrofusion. Cell fusion is a common phenomenon in the…

Physical principles of the description of fluid flow through a system of pipes and so­me mechanical properties of the blood circula­tion are put forward. As an example, the velocity field…

Lateral redistribution of molecules in cell membrane may result in budding and shedding of vesicles smaller than micrometer, called microvesicles. Microvesicles reflect in their cha­racteristics the state and type of…

Electroporation is a process, which causes transient high-permeability of the cell membrane due to application of electric field. In the state of high-permeability, membrane allows different kinds of small and…

In the paper methods and devices for measurement and evaluation of grasping in the rehabilitation environment are proposed. Investigation of grasping was divided into three phases: reaching to grasp an…

Hereditary elliptocytosis is a clinically, biochemically and genetically heterogeneous group of inherited disorders of red blood cells. It is characterised by the presence of elongated, oval or elliptically shaped erythrocytes…

Experiments and theoretical studies are presented that have led to the hypothesis of a sub­jacent pool of membranous nanostructures representing cell infrastructure.

Electroporation is a phenomenon during which exposure of a cell to an electric field results in a significant increase in its membrane permeability. Reversible electroporation is widely used for internalisation of various…

High-voltage, nanosecond electric pulses (of a few to a hundred nanoseconds duration and electric field strength of a few ten kV/cm) are generated by a Blumlein generator. Such pulses induce…
