Microscopy, Interference Reflection

There is a need for a noninvasive technique to monitor living pluripotent stem cell condition without any labeling. We present an… (More)

Interference reflection microscopy (IRM) is an optical technique used to study cell adhesion or cell mobility on a glass… (More)

Focal adhesions and podosomes are integrin-mediated cell-substratum contacts that can be visualized using interference reflection… (More)

Although vinculin (-/-) mouse embryo fibroblasts assemble focal adhesions (FAs), they spread more slowly, less extensively, and… (More)

We describe a new approach for making real-time measurements of exocytosis and endocytosis in neurons and neuroendocrine cells… (More)

Many animals that locomote by legs possess adhesive pads. Such organs are rapidly releasable and adhesive forces can be… (More)

Chromophore-assisted laser inactivation (CALI) is a light-mediated technique used to selectively inactivate proteins within cells… (More)

Matrix molecules such as fibronectin can promote cell attachment, spreading and focal adhesion formation. Although some… (More)

The widespread ability of eukaryotic cells to produce thin cytoplasmic sheets or lamellae 100-200 nm thick can give rise to… (More)

The contact between dorsal root growth cones and substrates of type IV collagen, fibronectin, poly-L-lysine, and laminin were… (More)
