Abstract
This article reports on a bioanalytical sensor device that hosts three different transducer principles: impedance spectroscopy, quartz-crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring, and the thermal-current-based heat-transfer method. These principles utilize a single chip, allowing one to perform either microbalance and heat transfer measurements in parallel or heat transfer and impedance measurements. When taking specific precautions, the three measurement modalities can even be used truly simultaneously. The probed parameters are distinctly different, so that one may speak about multiparametric or "orthogonal" sensing without crosstalk between the sensing circuits. Hence, this sensor allows one to identify which of these label-free sensing principles performs best for a given bioanalytical application in terms of a high signal amplitude and signal-to-noise ratio. As a proof-of-concept, the three-parameter sensor was validated by studying the spontaneous, collective detachment of eukaryotic cells in the presence of a temperature gradient between the QCM chip and the supernatant liquid. In addition to heat transfer, detachment can also be monitored by the impedance- and QCM-related signals. These features allow for the distinguishing between different yeast strains that differ in their flocculation genes, and the sensor device enables proliferation monitoring of yeast colonies over time.

J Gen Physiol 2023; 155:e202313414.

Abstract
Contraction of striated muscles is initiated by an increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, which is regulated by tropomyosin and troponin acting on actin filaments at the sarcomere level. Namely, Ca2+-binding to troponin C shifts the "on-off" equilibrium of the thin filament state toward the "on" state, promoting actomyosin interaction; likewise, an increase in temperature to within the body temperature range shifts the equilibrium to the on state, even in the absence of Ca2+. Here, we investigated the temperature dependence of sarcomere shortening along isolated fast skeletal myofibrils using optical heating microscopy. Rapid heating (25 to 41.5°C) within 2 s induced reversible sarcomere shortening in relaxing solution. Further, we investigated the temperature-dependence of the sliding velocity of reconstituted fast skeletal or cardiac thin filaments on fast skeletal or β-cardiac myosin in an in vitro motility assay within the body temperature range. We found that (a) with fast skeletal thin filaments on fast skeletal myosin, the temperature dependence was comparable to that obtained for sarcomere shortening in fast skeletal myofibrils (Q10 ∼8), (b) both types of thin filaments started to slide at lower temperatures on fast skeletal myosin than on β-cardiac myosin, and (c) cardiac thin filaments slid at lower temperatures compared with fast skeletal thin filaments on either type of myosin. Therefore, the mammalian striated muscle may be fine-tuned to contract efficiently via complementary regulation of myosin and tropomyosin-troponin within the body temperature range, depending on the physiological demands of various circumstances.

Abstract
This review provides an overview on bio- and chemosensors based on a thermal transducer platform that monitors the thermal interface resistance R th between a solid chip and the supernatant liquid. The R th parameter responds in a surprisingly strong way to molecular-scale changes at the solid-liquid interface, which can be measured thermometrically, using for instance thermocouples in combination with a controllable heat source. In 2012, the effect was first observed during on-chip denaturation experiments on complementary and mismatched DNA duplexes that differ in their melting temperature. Since then, the concept is addressed as heat-transfer method, in short HTM, and numerous applications of the basic sensing principle were identified. Functionalizing the chip with bioreceptors such as molecularly imprinted polymers makes it possible to detect neurotransmitters, inflammation markers, viruses, and environmental pollutants. In combination with aptamer-type receptors, it is also possible to detect proteins at low concentrations. Changing the receptors to surface-imprinted polymers has opened up new possibilities for quantitative bacterial detection and identification in complex matrices. In receptor-free variants, HTM was successfully used to characterize lipid vesicles and eukaryotic cells (yeast strains, cancer cell lines), the latter showing spontaneous detachment under influence of the temperature gradient inherent to HTM. We will also address modifications to the original HTM technique such as M-HTM, inverted HTM, thermal wave transport analysis TWTA, and the hot-wire principle. The article concludes with an assessment of the possibilities and current limitations of the method, together with a technological forecast.

Abstract
Biochemical reactions in cells serve as the endogenous source of heat, maintaining a constant body temperature. This process requires proper control; otherwise, serious consequences can arise due to the unwanted but unavoidable responses of biological systems to heat. This review aims to present a range of responses to heat in biological systems across various spatial scales. We begin by examining the impaired thermogenesis of malignant hyperthermia in model mice and skeletal muscle cells, demonstrating that the progression of this disease is caused by a positive feedback loop between thermally driven Ca2+ signaling and thermogenesis at the subcellular scale. After we explore thermally driven force generation in both muscle and non-muscle cells, we illustrate how in vitro assays using purified proteins can reveal the heat-responsive properties of proteins and protein assemblies. Building on these experimental findings, we propose the concept of 'trans-scale thermal signaling'.

Abstract
We report a new approach to controllable thermal stimulation of a single living cell and its compartments. The technique is based on the use of a single polycrystalline diamond particle containing silicon-vacancy (SiV) color centers. Due to the presence of amorphous carbon at its intercrystalline boundaries, such a particle is an efficient light absorber and becomes a local heat source when illuminated by a laser. Furthermore, the temperature of such a local heater is tracked by the spectral shift of the zero-phonon line of SiV centers. Thus, the diamond particle acts simultaneously as a heater and a thermometer. In the current work, we demonstrate the ability of such a Diamond Heater-Thermometer (DHT) to locally alter the temperature, one of the numerous parameters that play a decisive role for the living organisms at the nanoscale. In particular, we show that the local heating of 11-12 °C relative to the ambient temperature (22 °C) next to individual HeLa cells and neurons, isolated from the mouse hippocampus, leads to a change in the intracellular distribution of the concentration of free calcium ions. For individual HeLa cells, a long-term (about 30 s) increase in the integral intensity of Fluo-4 NW fluorescence by about three times is observed, which characterizes an increase in the [Ca2+]cyt concentration of free calcium in the cytoplasm. Heating near mouse hippocampal neurons also caused a calcium surge-an increase in the intensity of Fluo-4 NW fluorescence by 30% and a duration of ~ 0.4 ms.

Abstract
Type 1 ryanodine receptor (RYR1) is a Ca2+ release channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of the skeletal muscle and plays a critical role in excitation-contraction coupling. Mutations in RYR1 cause severe muscle diseases, such as malignant hyperthermia, a disorder of Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) through RYR1 from the SR. We recently reported that volatile anesthetics induce malignant hyperthermia (MH)-like episodes through enhanced CICR in heterozygous R2509C-RYR1 mice. However, the characterization of Ca2+ dynamics has yet to be investigated in skeletal muscle cells from homozygous mice because these animals die in utero. In the present study, we generated primary cultured skeletal myocytes from R2509C-RYR1 mice. No differences in cellular morphology were detected between wild type (WT) and mutant myocytes. Spontaneous Ca2+ transients and cellular contractions occurred in WT and heterozygous myocytes, but not in homozygous myocytes. Electron microscopic observation revealed that the sarcomere length was shortened to ∼1.7 µm in homozygous myocytes, as compared to ∼2.2 and ∼2.3 µm in WT and heterozygous myocytes, respectively. Consistently, the resting intracellular Ca2+ concentration was higher in homozygous myocytes than in WT or heterozygous myocytes, which may be coupled with a reduced Ca2+ concentration in the SR. Finally, using infrared laser-based microheating, we found that heterozygous myocytes showed larger heat-induced Ca2+ transients than WT myocytes. Our findings suggest that the R2509C mutation in RYR1 causes dysfunctional Ca2+ dynamics in a mutant-gene dose-dependent manner in the skeletal muscles, in turn provoking MH-like episodes and embryonic lethality in heterozygous and homozygous mice, respectively.

Abstract
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a life-threatening disorder caused largely by mutations in ryanodine receptor type 1 (RyR1) Ca2+-release channels. Enhanced Ca2+ release through the mutant channels induces excessive heat development upon exposure to volatile anesthetics. However, the mechanism by which Ca2+ release is accelerated at an elevated temperature is yet to be identified. Fluorescence Ca2+ imaging with rapid heating by an infrared laser beam provides direct evidence that heat induces Ca2+ release through the RyR1 channel. And the mutant channels are more heat sensitive than the wild-type channels, thereby causing an increase in the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration in mutant cells. It is likely that the heat-induced Ca2+ release participates as an enhancer in the cellular mechanism of MH. Thermoregulation is an important aspect of human homeostasis, and high temperatures pose serious stresses for the body. Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a life-threatening disorder in which body temperature can rise to a lethal level. Here we employ an optically controlled local heat-pulse method to manipulate the temperature in cells with a precision of less than 1 °C and find that the mutants of ryanodine receptor type 1 (RyR1), a key Ca2+ release channel underlying MH, are heat hypersensitive compared with the wild type (WT). We show that the local heat pulses induce an intracellular Ca2+ burst in human embryonic kidney 293 cells overexpressing WT RyR1 and some RyR1 mutants related to MH. Fluorescence Ca2+ imaging using the endoplasmic reticulum–targeted fluorescent probes demonstrates that the Ca2+ burst originates from heat-induced Ca2+ release (HICR) through RyR1-mutant channels because of the channels’ heat hypersensitivity. Furthermore, the variation in the heat hypersensitivity of four RyR1 mutants highlights the complexity of MH. HICR likewise occurs in skeletal muscles of MH model mice. We propose that HICR contributes an additional positive feedback to accelerate thermogenesis in patients with MH.

Abstract
Despite the importance of cell characterization and identification for diagnostic and therapeutic applications, developing fast and label-free methods without (bio)-chemical markers or surface-engineered receptors remains challenging. Here, we exploit the natural cellular response to mild thermal stimuli and propose a label- and receptor-free method for fast and facile cell characterization. Cell suspensions in a dedicated sensor are exposed to a temperature gradient, which stimulates synchronized and spontaneous cell-detachment with sharply defined time-patterns, a phenomenon unknown from literature. These patterns depend on metabolic activity (controlled through temperature, nutrients, and drugs) and provide a library of cell-type-specific indicators, allowing to distinguish several yeast strains as well as cancer cells. Under specific conditions, synchronized glycolytic-type oscillations are observed during detachment of mammalian and yeast-cell ensembles, providing additional cell-specific signatures. These findings suggest potential applications for cell viability analysis and for assessing the collective response of cancer cells to drugs.

Abstract
Drebrin E is a regulatory protein of intracellular force produced by actomyosin complexes, that is, myosin molecular motors interacting with actin filaments. The expression level of drebrin E in nerve cells decreases as the animal grows, suggesting its pivotal but unclarified role in neuronal development. Here, by applying the microscopic heat pulse method to actomyosin motility assay, the regulatory mechanism is examined from the room temperature up to 37 °C without a thermal denaturing of proteins. We show that the inhibition of actomyosin motility by drebrin E is eliminated immediately and reversibly during heating and depends on drebrin E concentration. The direct observation of quantum dot-labeled drebrin E implies its stable binding to actin filaments during the heat-induced sliding. Our results suggest that drebrin E allosterically modifies the actin filament structure to regulate cooperatively the actomyosin activity at the maintained in vivo body temperature.

Abstract
AbstractCould enzymatic activities and their cooperative functions act as cellular temperature-sensing systems? This review introduces recent opto-thermal technologies for microscopic analyses of various types of cellular temperature-sensing system. Optical microheating technologies have been developed for local and rapid temperature manipulations at the cellular level. Advanced luminescent thermometers visualize the dynamics of cellular local temperature in space and time during microheating. An optical heater and thermometer can be combined into one smart nanomaterial that demonstrates hybrid function. These technologies have revealed a variety of cellular responses to spatial and temporal changes in temperature. Spatial temperature gradients cause asymmetric deformations during mitosis and neurite outgrowth. Rapid changes in temperature causes imbalance of intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis and membrane potential. Among those responses, heat-induced muscle contractions are highlighted. It is also demonstrated that the short-term heating hyperactivates molecular motors to exceed their maximal activities at optimal temperatures. We discuss future prospects for opto-thermal manipulation of cellular functions and contributions to obtain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of cellular temperature-sensing systems.

Abstract
The safe and effective delivery of anticancer agents to diseased tissues is one of the significant challenges in cancer therapy. Conventional anticancer agents are generally cytotoxins with poor pharmacokinetics and bioavailability. Nanocarriers are nanosized particles designed for the selectivity of anticancer drugs and gene transport to tumors. They are small enough to extravasate into solid tumors, where they slowly release their therapeutic load by passive leakage or biodegradation. Using smart nanocarriers, the rate of release of the entrapped therapeutic(s) can be increased, and greater exposure of the tumor cells to the therapeutics can be achieved when the nanocarriers are exposed to certain internally (enzymes, pH, and temperature) or externally (light, magnetic field, and ultrasound) applied stimuli that trigger the release of their load in a safe and controlled manner, spatially and temporally. This review gives a comprehensive overview of recent research findings on the different types of stimuli-responsive nanocarriers and their application in cancer treatment with a particular focus on ultrasound.

Abstract
For several decades optical tweezers have proven to be an invaluable tool in the study and analysis of myriad biological responses and applications. However, as with every tool, they can have undesirable or damaging effects upon the very sample they are helping to study. In this review the main negative effects of optical tweezers upon biostructures and living systems will be presented. There are three main areas on which the review will focus: linear optical excitation within the tweezers, non-linear photonic effects, and thermal load upon the sampled volume. Additional information is provided on negative mechanical effects of optical traps on biological structures. Strategies to avoid or, at least, minimize these negative effects will be introduced. Finally, all these effects, undesirable for the most, can have positive applications under the right conditions. Some hints in this direction will also be discussed.

Abstract
FLIRT (fast local infrared thermogenetics) is a microscopy-based technology to locally and reversibly manipulate protein function while simultaneously monitoring the effects in vivo. FLIRT locally inactivates fast-acting temperature-sensitive mutant proteins. We demonstrate that FLIRT can control temperature-sensitive proteins required for cell division, Delta-Notch cell fate signaling, and germline structure in Caenorhabditis elegans with cell-specific and even subcellular precision.

Abstract
There is rapidly increasing evidence that nanoscale temperature heterogeneities are involved in important biological processes. Combining nanoheating and nanoscale thermosensors forms the basis of emerging unique methods of cell therapy, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. Understanding corresponding phenomena seems to require a mesoscopic nonequilibrium hydrodynamic theory. In this paper, a Langevin-type model of dynamics of phonon modes propagating along a bilayer lipid membrane in the presence of an in-plane temperature gradient is proposed. Corresponding quantitative estimates for the Brillouin components of the nonequilibrium dynamic structure factor and the equal-time longitudinal momentum-density correlation function for a lipid bilayer are obtained. The analysis reveals that for typical values of parameters of lipid bilayer, the longitudinal temperature gradient of the order of 5qK for wave numbers q from 0.01 to 1nm^{-1} induces significant asymmetry of the Brillouin components of the dynamic structure factor and long-range spatial correlations in the plane of the bilayer. The corresponding membrane temperature gradients seem to be typical or achievable for cellular processes responsible for intracellular temperature variations and such external physical impacts as high-intensity electromagnetic pulses or heating of membrane-associated nanoparticles.

Optical micromanipulation of nanoparticles and cells inside living zebrafish. Nat Commun 2016; 7:10974.

Abstract
Regulation of biological processes is often based on physical interactions between cells and their microenvironment. To unravel how and where interactions occur, micromanipulation methods can be used that offer high-precision control over the duration, position and magnitude of interactions. However, lacking an in vivo system, micromanipulation has generally been done with cells in vitro, which may not reflect the complex in vivo situation inside multicellular organisms. Here using optical tweezers we demonstrate micromanipulation throughout the transparent zebrafish embryo. We show that different cells, as well as injected nanoparticles and bacteria can be trapped and that adhesion properties and membrane deformation of endothelium and macrophages can be analysed. This non-invasive micromanipulation inside a whole-organism gives direct insights into cell interactions that are not accessible using existing approaches. Potential applications include screening of nanoparticle-cell interactions for cancer therapy or tissue invasion studies in cancer and infection biology.

Abstract
Optical microheating is a powerful non-invasive method for manipulating biological functions such as gene expression, muscle contraction, and cell excitation. Here, we demonstrate its potential usage for regulating neurite outgrowth. We found that optical microheating with a water-absorbable 1,455-nm laser beam triggers directional and explosive neurite outgrowth and branching in rat hippocampal neurons. The focused laser beam under a microscope rapidly increases the local temperature from 36 °C to 41 °C (stabilized within 2 s), resulting in the elongation of neurites by more than 10 μm within 1 min. This high-speed, persistent elongation of neurites was suppressed by inhibitors of both microtubule and actin polymerization, indicating that the thermosensitive dynamics of these cytoskeletons play crucial roles in this heat-induced neurite outgrowth. Furthermore, we showed that microheating induced the regrowth of injured neurites and the interconnection of neurites. These results demonstrate the efficacy of optical microheating methods for the construction of arbitrary neural networks.
