Structural basis and biophysical properties of synaptic plasticity studied by atomic force microscopy

Alexandre Yersin

In this thesis, we studied two systems important for synaptic plasticity, one presynaptic and another postsynaptic. The protein complex composed of VAMP 2, SNAP-25 and syntaxin 1 (SNARE complex) is essential for docking and fusion of neurotransmitter-fille ...

Elastic membrane heterogeneity of living cells revealed by stiff nanoscale membrane domains

Giovanni Dietler, Paolo De Los Rios, Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Sandor Kasas, Charles Roduit, Alexandre Yersin, Pascal Steiner

Many approaches have been developed to characterize the heterogeneity of membranes in living cells. In this study, the elastic properties of specific membrane domains in living cells are characterized by atomic force microscopy. Our data reveal the existen ...

Gradient of Rigidity in the Lamellipodia of Migrating Cells Revealed by Atomic Force Microscopy

Giovanni Dietler, Sandor Kasas, Jean-Jacques Meister, Alexander Verkhovskiy, Alexandre Yersin

Changes in mechanical properties of the cytoplasm have been implicated in cell motility, but there is little information about these properties in specific regions of the cell at specific stages of the cell migration process. Fish epidermal keratocytes wit ...
