Fluorescent D-Amino Acids for Super-resolution Microscopy of the Bacterial Cell Wall

Mischa André Meyer, Faustine Ambroisine Charline Ryckebusch, Suliana Manley, Luc Reymond, Chen Zhang, Juliette Griffie, Willi Leopold Stepp, Ophélie Rutschmann, Jiangtao Qiao

Fluorescent D-amino acids (FDAAs) have previ-ously been developed to enable in situ highlighting of locations of bacterial cell wall growth. Most bacterial cells lie at the edge of the diffraction limit of visible light; thus, resolving the precise details ...

Preparation and Analysis of Bacteria Surface-Modified with Polymer Nanoparticles

Lisa Patricia Elisabeth Bader

Cell-based drug carriers present an interesting approach to improve the targeted delivery of therapeutic drugs in vivo. Specifically, bacterial cells possess interesting properties such as motility and sensing that allow some strains to selectively target ...

Event-driven acquisition for content-enriched microscopy

Suliana Manley, Dora Mahecic, Martin Weigert, Juliette Griffie, Chen Zhang, Willi Leopold Stepp

Event-driven acquisition uses neural-network-based recognition of specific biological events to trigger switching between slow and fast super-resolution imaging, enriching the capture of interesting events with high spatiotemporal resolution. A common goal ...

Water as a contrast agent for imaging interfacial structure and ion transport in giant vesicles

David Roesel

Hydrated lipid bilayer membranes and their asymmetry play a fundamental role in living cells by maintaining and regulating concentration gradients between cells, their environment, and their compartments. They achieve this not only through various channels ...

Computational Studies of the Proton-Coupled Metal Ion Transport in the SLC11/NRAMP Family of Transporters

Maria Letizia Merlini

In the last years, it has been demonstrated a link between the overload of metal ions inside nervous system cells and the onset of severe neurodegenerative diseases. This prompted the investigation of the structural and functional properties of transporter ...

Second harmonic scattering of water in a biological context

Tereza Schönfeldová

Water is one of the most abundant molecules in the universe. It forms a hydrogen bond network with unique structure and dynamics. Hydrogen bonding is highly relevant to many biological processes including membrane formation, protein folding, adsorption, an ...

Live-seq enables temporal transcriptomic recording of single cells

Orane Josiane Guillaume-Gentil, Bart Deplancke, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Riccardo Dainese, Wouter Jozef L Saelens, Pernille Yde Rainer, Wanze Chen, Magda Zachara

Single-cell transcriptomics (scRNA-seq) has greatly advanced our ability to characterize cellular heterogeneity(1). However, scRNA-seq requires lysing cells, which impedes further molecular or functional analyses on the same cells. Here, we established Liv ...

Multivalent Peptide Ligands To Probe the Chromocenter Microenvironment in Living Cells

Beat Fierz, Pablo Rivera Fuentes, Nora Guidotti, Maxime Nicolas Mivelaz, Adam Miklos Eördögh

Chromatin is spatially organized into functional states that are defined by both the presence of specific histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) and a defined set of chromatin-associated “reader” proteins. Different models for the underlying mecha ...

Colon tumour cell death causes mTOR dependence by paracrine P2X4 stimulation

Andrea Ablasser

Solid cancers exhibit a dynamic balance between cell death and proliferation ensuring continuous tumour maintenance and growth(1,2). Increasing evidence links enhanced cancer cell apoptosis to paracrine activation of cells in the tumour microenvironment in ...

Method and system for determining intracellular mediators' activity

Philippe Renaud, Horst Arthur Vogel, Thamani Dahoun, Margaux Catherine Marie Duchamp, Marc Brugarolas Campillos

A method for determining the presence of a molecule coupled to the cytoplasmic side of a cellular membrane is disclosed. The method is implemented in a microfluidic setting and is particularly suitable for determining the presence and/or the activity of a ...

Passive and active ion permeation through lipid bilayers investigated by second harmonic water imaging

Maksim Eremchev

Lipid membranes are complex and dynamic systems which are known to mediate signaling processes between cells and their environment. To do this multiple ion channels and pumps are involved in controlling the in- and out-flux of various ions (K+, Na+, Mg2+, ...

Single-cell lipidomics reveals a role for cell-to-cell sphingolipid heterogeneity in fibroblast activation

Laura Capolupo

Cell-to-cell variability plays a key role in tissue patterning by setting initial asymmetry that primes cell fate decisions. Fluctuations in the activity of regulatory molecules can commit individual cells to divergent differentiation pathways, and cell-to ...
