Heimburg T
Chem Phys Lipids
. 2024 Dec;
267:105461.
PMID: 39622430
The action potential is widely regarded as a purely electrical phenomenon. However, one also finds mechanical and thermal changes that can be observed experimentally. In particular, nerve membranes become thicker...

Biochim Biophys Acta Biomembr
. 2023 Jan;
1865(3):184104.
PMID: 36642342
The Fluid Mosaic Model by Singer & Nicolson proposes that biological membranes consist of a fluid lipid layer into which integral proteins are embedded. The lipid membrane acts as a...

. 2022 Oct;
86:103000.
PMID: 36209614
Nerves are frequently stretched during movement. We investigate here the effect of stretch on nerve excitability within the framework of the soliton theory. This thermodynamic theory for nerve pulse propagation...

. 2021 Feb;
8:592520.
PMID: 33575253
There is mounting evidence that lipid bilayers display conductive properties. However, when interpreting the electrical response of biological membranes to voltage changes, they are commonly considered as inert insulators. Lipid...

. 2020 Aug;

PMID: 32805276
It has long been known that there is no measurable heat production associated with the nerve pulse. Rather, one finds that heat production is biphasic, and a heat release during...

Muzic T, Tounsi F, Madsen S, Pollakowski D, Konrad M, Heimburg T
Biochim Biophys Acta Biomembr
. 2019 Aug;
1861(11):183026.
PMID: 31465764
We investigated melting transitions in native biological membranes containing their membrane proteins. The membranes originated from E. coli, B. subtilis, lung surfactant and nerve tissue from the spinal cord of...

J Biol Phys
. 2018 May;
44(3):419-431.
PMID: 29796745
We measured temporal oscillations in thermodynamic variables such as temperature, heat flux, and cellular volume in suspensions of non-dividing yeast cells which exhibit temporal glycolytic oscillations. Oscillations in these variables...

. 2018 Apr;
1860(10):2145-2153.
PMID: 29679540
In the electromechanical theory of nerve stimulation, the nerve impulse consists of a traveling region of solid membrane in a liquid environment. Therefore, the free energy necessary to stimulate a...

. 2017 Jun;

PMID: 28644488
Onsager's phenomenological equations successfully describe irreversible thermodynamic processes. They assume a symmetric coupling matrix between thermodynamic fluxes and forces. It is easily shown that the antisymmetric part of a coupling...
