"...Nevertheless, it is important to put the present result together
with the established finding that BAPTA-loaded Lymnaea neurons tolerate repeated excursions between isotonic and 50% media [VLDs [vacuole-like dilations] form each time the neurons reshrink and reverse when
they swell (Herring et al., 1998)]. This indicates that neuronal
membrane has a mechanical resiliency enabling it to withstand
membrane tensions exceeding ~0.5 mN/m, which is the calculated
limit for ~100 pN, the trap limit." |
