Scanning ion conductance microscopy (SICM) has emerged as a versatile tool for studies of
interfaces in biology and materials science with notable utility in biophysical and …

Viruses have a dual nature: particles are “passive substances” lacking chemical energy
transformation, whereas infected cells are “active substances” turning-over energy. How …

Quantitative studies on the uptake of nanoparticles into biological systems should consider
simultaneous agglomera tion, sedimentation, and diffusion at physiologically relevant …

We described a hybrid system of scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) and
scanning ion conductance microscopy (SICM) with ion current feedback nanopositioning …

Computational modeling indicates that cardiac conduction may involve ephaptic coupling–
intercellular communication involving electrochemical signaling across narrow extracellular …

Virus-like particles (VLPs) can be spontaneously self-assembled by viral structural proteins
under appropriate conditions in vitro while excluding the genetic material and potential …

We present the first direct comparison of scanning ion conductance microscopy (SICM) with
atomic force microscopy (AFM) for cell imaging. By imaging the same fibroblast or myoblast …

Mechanical properties of living cells determined by cytoskeletal elements play a crucial role
in a wide range of biological functions. However, low-stress mapping of mechanical …

In recent years, major developments in scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) have
significantly broadened the application range of this electroanalytical technique from high …

Primary human alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells were immortalized by transduction with the
catalytic subunit of telomerase and simian virus 40 large-tumor antigen. Characterization by …
