"A selection of tension time courses for swelling under the three
conditions is illustrated in Figure 7. the entire data set is summarized
in Table 1. Before swelling, steady-state tensions in
BAPTA-loaded cells and in both control conditions (untreated
and DMSO-treated) were identical (Table 1), but less than 1 min
after swelling began, most BAPTA-loaded neurons experienced
sudden large membrane tension increases whose full extent [researchers]
could not measure because the force exerted on the bead by the
plasma membrane exceeded the trap limit, causing the tethered
beads to escape. In controls, this was a rare occurrence." |
