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

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

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, Jean-Jacques Meister, Sandor Kasas, 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 ...

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 ...
