A highly specific gold nanoprobe for live-cell single-molecule imaging.
Single molecule tracking in live cells is the ultimate tool to study subcellular protein dynamics, but it is often limited by the probe size and photostability. Because of these issues, long-term tracking of proteins in confined and crowded environments, such as intracellular spaces, remains challenging. We have developed a novel optical probe consisting of 5 nm gold nanoparticles functionalize...
متن کاملSingle-molecule Live-cell Imaging of a Non-coding Rna
RNA is a recent target for bioimaging studies. For example, subcellular localization of particular mRNAs has been investigated and the dynamics of them have been partially revealed [1, 2]. On the other hand, few studies have been reported on live cell imaging of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in spite of the importance of ncRNAs that are implicated in controlling biological events especially in the n...
متن کاملSingle-molecule live-cell imaging of clathrin-based endocytosis.
Clathrin-coated vesicles carry traffic from the plasma membrane to endosomes. We report here the first real-time visualization of cargo sorting and endocytosis by clathrin-coated pits in living cells. We have visualized the formation of coats by monitoring the incorporation of fluorescently tagged clathrin or its adaptor AP-2 (adaptor protein 2), and have followed clathrin-mediated uptake of tr...
متن کاملSingle-molecule imaging in live bacteria cells.
Bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Caulobacter crescentus, are the most studied and perhaps best-understood organisms in biology. The advances in understanding of living systems gained from these organisms are immense. Application of single-molecule techniques in bacteria have presented unique difficulties owing to their small size and highly curved form. The aim of this review is to show a...
متن کاملA Novel Biocompatible Nanoprobe Based on Lipoproteins for Breast Cancer Cell Imaging
Objective(s): Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of breast cancer provides valuable data on the disease state of patients. Biocompatible nanoprobes are expected to play a pivotal role in medical diagnosis in the future owing to their prominent advantages. The present study aimed to introduce a novel biocompatible nanoprobe based on lipoproteins for breast cancer cell imaging.<br...
