Elastic moduli of collagen gels can be predicted from two-dimensional confocal microscopy.
We quantitatively compare data obtained from imaging two-dimensional slices of three-dimensional unlabeled and fluorescently labeled collagen gels with confocal reflectance microscopy (CRM) and/or confocal fluorescence microscopy (CFM). Different network structures are obtained by assembling the gels over a range of concentrations at various temperatures. Comparison between CRM and CFM shows th...
متن کاملTwo-Dimensional Mapping of 3D Data from Confocal Microscopy
Confocal microscopy has been experimentally proven for decades to provide high-quality images for biological research. Its unique property of blocking out-offocus light enables 3D rendering from planar stacks and visualization of internal features. However, visualizing 3D data on a flat display is not intuitive, and would lead to occasional distortion. In this study, a novel, easy-toimplement, ...
متن کاملCan allosteric regulation be predicted from structure?
D the last decade, the classical view of a protein existing in equilibrium between discrete conformational states has undergone a radical transformation. Experimental observations, particularly those obtained from NMRdetected hydrogenydeuterium exchange, indicate that even under native conditions proteins need to be considered as complex statistical ensembles (see for example refs. 1–13). In th...
متن کاملCan Cascades be Predicted?
A famous instance is a picture of a receipt taken by a customer at a hunting and fishing chain store called Cabela. The receipt listed a 2.3%“medical excise tax,” which was supposedly levied as part of the Affordable Care Act. This was seen as evidence that there is a hidden tax that consumers are paying for the ACA. The store later cleared this up as being a “software glitch” on their part. Th...
متن کاملTwo Plateau Moduli for Actin Gels
Conflicting experimental results have been reported for the plateau modulus in actin solutions: Analogies are often made with the viscoelastic behaviour of flexible polymers making use of the idea of entanglement as the source of the macroscopic storage modulus. We resolve apparent experimental and theoretical contradictions by pointing out the possibility of two distinct plateau regimes as a f...
