Mechanical properties of cells are determined by the dynamic behavior of the cytoskeleton and physical interactions with the environment. The cytoskeleton, composed of actin filaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules, is vital for numerous key cellular processes, such as cell division, vesicle...

In the following study, we demonstrate the power of combining atomic force microscopy AFM and fluorescence microscopy techniques to probe real-time, in-situ effects of two highly specific drugs that are able to disrupt different cytoskeleton networks inside living cells. Using Veeco Multiple Image Registration...

There is great interest in unraveling action mechanisms of key enzymes in biological processes. In many cases, insight on such molecular events can be derived from conventional biophysical analyses of isolated enzymes and their substrates or protein partners. For example, members of the matrix metalloproteinases...
