Fast, high-resolution, non-destructive and quantitative characterization methods are needed
to develop materials with tailored properties at the nanoscale or to understand the …

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful, multifunctional imaging platform that allows
biological samples, from single molecules to living cells, to be visualized and manipulated …

Biomolecular interactions underpin most processes inside the cell. Hence, a precise and
quantitative understanding of molecular association and dissociation events is crucial, not …

Various techniques have been developed and used to investigate how proteins produce
complex biological architectures and phenomena. Among these techniques, high-speed …

Mechanobiology aims to establish functional relationships between the mechanical state of
a living a cell and its physiology. The acquisition of force–distance curves with an AFM is by …

In recent years, a great deal of interest has been focused on the development of novel
atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based methods. From first being an unstable method, AFM …

Developments in microscopy have been instrumental to progress in the life sciences, and
many new techniques have been introduced and led to new discoveries throughout the last …

IgG antibodies play a central role in protection against pathogens by their ability to alert and
activate the innate immune system. Here, we show that IgGs assemble into oligomers on …

High-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) is a unique tool for molecular imaging. It can
directly visualize protein molecules during their functional activity at high spatiotemporal …

Clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) proceeds through a series of morphological changes
of the plasma membrane induced by a number of protein components. Although the …
