Knowing interaction forces between nanostructures and their substrates is important in nanomanufacturing, such as template-directed assembly. A new mechanical membrane-based AFM (atomic force ...

[9] As AFM can work in cell culture medium without the need of cell fixation or staining, it has become a powerful tool for imaging cell surface morphology and membrane structure. For living cell ...

The NanoWizard ® 3 BioScience AFM is the only AFM system on the market that is designed for optimal use in liquid and comes with a vapor barrier, encapsulated piezos and a variety of dedicated ...

AFM is powerful in imaging cell surface morphology and membrane structure to provide valuable information for the evaluation of drug activity and drug mechanism. AFM-based single-molecule force ...

A liquid cell containing water allows viscosity measurements of the water to be collected with an atomic force microscope. A study led by Elisa Riedo, an assistant professor in the Georgia Tech ...

Endocytosis occurs when the cell membrane engulfs particles (dark blue) outside the cell, draws the contents in, and forms an intracellular vesicle called an endosome. This vesicle travels through ...

To address these critical questions, we use the atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based force-tracing technique ... which is significant for understanding how a membrane transporter works. This study ...

Our mission is to provide a state-of-the-art facility, expertise, and education in advanced quantitative light microscopy to support Drexel University’s research community The Cell Imaging Center (CIC ...

A cell's daily operations are accomplished through the biochemical reactions that take place within the cell. Reactions are turned on and off or sped up and slowed down according to the cell's ...

Transport across membranes All cells are enclosed by a cell membrane, which is selectively permeable. Molecules can move into or out of cells by diffusion and active transport. Cells can gain or ...

15, 2024 — A team tests the protective effect of a fermented black garlic extract against inflammation and the progression of prostate cancer in a study conducted on human prostate cancer cell ...

From brighter TV screens to better medical diagnostics and more efficient solar panels, new Curtin-led research has discovered how to make more molecules stick to the surface of tiny nanocrystals ...
