Trout (left) and rat (right) cardiomyocytes are structurally very different. Trout cardiomyocytes are much longer and thinner than rat cardiomyocytes, and only half of the trout cardiomyocyte in this picture was within the camera field of view. Click here to read more about the structural differences and how they affect intracellular diffusion restrictions. Reference: Sokolova et al, BMC Cell Biology 2009
Welcome to the site of the Laboratory of Systems Biology. The Laboratory of Systems Biology is a part of the Center for Nonlinear Studies in Institute Of Cybernetics, Tallinn University of Technology.
Aim
The main aim of the laboratory is to study regulation of intracellular processes and understand functional influences of intracellular interactions. For this, a mixture of experimental and theoretical approaches are used.Specific scientific interests, projects
- Intracellular compartmentation and diffusion restrictions, influence on bioenergetics
- How the fine structure of mitochondrion is influencing the dynamics of oxidative phosphorylation?
- Regulation of energy transfer in different types of cells
- Metabolic stability of heart muscle cells
- Interaction between mechanics and energetics of the heart
