Importância do colesterol para a mecânica celular e para a entrada do Trypanosoma cruzi na célula hospedeira

=== In the present work we have investigated the importance of cholesterol in controlling mechanical properties of cells and how this modulates Trypanosoma cruzi entry in host cells. For this we performed studies of cell membrane dynamics using tether extraction with optical tweezers (OT) and defoc...
