Uniaxial cell stretching device for live-cell imaging of mechanosensitive cellular functions.
External mechanical stretch plays an important role in regulating cellular behaviors through intracellular mechanosensitive and mechanotransductive machineries such as the F-actin cytoskeleton (CSK) structures and focal adhesions (FAs) anchoring the F-actin CSK to the extracellular environment. Studying the mechanoresponsive behaviors of the F-actin CSK and FAs in response to cell stretch has g...
متن کاملA uniaxial bioMEMS device for imaging single cell response during quantitative force-displacement measurements.
A microfabricated device has been developed for imaging of a single, adherent cell while quantifying force under an applied displacement. The device works in a fashion similar to that of a displacement-controlled uniaxial tensile machine. The device was calibrated using a tipless atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilever and shows excellent agreement with the calculated spring constant. A step i...
متن کاملIn vivo imaging of cellular proliferation in renal cell carcinoma using 18F-fluorothymidine PET
Objective(s): The ability to measure cellular proliferation non-invasively in renal cell carcinoma may allow prediction of tumour aggressiveness and response to therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the uptake of 18Ffluorothymidine (FLT) PET in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and to compare this to 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), and to an immunohistochemical measure of cellular proliferatio...
متن کاملLive cell imaging of plants.
Live cell imaging is an essential approach for studying the structure, dynamics, and functions of cells in a living plant under normal or stressed growth conditions. The tiny flowering plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, provides an ideal system to apply various live microscopy techniques. Its small size allows fluorescent light to penetrate the tissues, and its plantlets contain different cell types ...
متن کاملLive cell imaging of mechanotransduction.
Mechanical forces play important roles in the regulation of cellular functions, including polarization, migration and stem cell differentiation. Tremendous advancement in our understanding of mechanotransduction has been achieved with the recent development of imaging technologies and molecular biosensors. In particular, genetically encoded biosensors based on fluorescence resonance energy tran...
