How Merkel cells transduce mechanical stimuli: A biophysical model of Merkel cells
Fig 5
The Ca2+ transients in Merkel cells under hypotonic shock.
(A) The fluorescence intensity change of Ca2+ under hypotonic shock by removing 30mM mannitol in external solution [22]. (B) The cytoplasm concentration of Ca2+ changes under hypotonic shock by removing 30mM mannitol in external solution in simulation. The parameters of ion channels are seen in Table A in S1 Appendix.
