Revealing Assembly of a Pore-Forming Complex Using Single-Cell Kinetic Analysis and Modeling

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Felix Naef, Mirko Bischofberger, Daniel Boss, Mircea Ioan Iacovache

Many biological processes depend on the sequential assembly of protein complexes. However, studying the kinetics of such processes by direct methods is often not feasible. As an important class of such protein complexes, pore-forming toxins start their jou ...

Automated segmentation of multiple red blood cells with digital holographic microscopy

Pierre Marquet, Daniel Boss

We present a method to automatically segment red blood cells (RBCs) visualized by digital holographic microscopy (DHM), which is based on the marker-controlled watershed algorithm. Quantitative phase images of RBCs can be obtained by using off-axis DHM alo ...

Automated quantitative analysis of 3D morphology and mean corpuscular hemoglobin in human red blood cells stored in different periods

Pierre Marquet, Daniel Boss

Quantitative phase (QP) images of red blood cells (RBCs), which are obtained by off-axis digital holographic microscopy, can provide quantitative information about three-dimensional (3D) morphology of human RBCs and the characteristic properties such as me ...

Marker-free phase nanoscopy

Pierre Magistretti, Christian Depeursinge, Pierre Marquet, Nicolas Pavillon, Pascal Jourdain, Daniel Boss, Yann Jérôme Michel Pascal Cotte, Muhammed Fatih Toy

We introduce a microscopic method that determines quantitative optical properties beyond the optical diffraction limit and allows direct imaging of unstained living biological specimens. In established holographic microscopy, complex fields are measured us ...

Measurement of absolute cell volume, osmotic membrane water permeability, and refractive index of transmembrane water and solute flux by digital holographic microscopy

Pierre Magistretti, Christian Depeursinge, Pierre Marquet, Pascal Jourdain, Daniel Boss

A dual-wavelength digital holographic microscope to measure absolute volume of living cells is proposed. The optical setup allows us to reconstruct two quantitative phase contrast images at two different wavelengths from a single hologram acquisition. When ...

Simultaneous Optical Recording in Multiple Cells by Digital Holographic Microscopy of Chloride Current Associated to Activation of the Ligand-Gated Chloride Channel GABA(A) Receptor

Christian Depeursinge, Benjamin Rappaz, Pierre Marquet, Pascal Jourdain, Daniel Boss, Corinne Moratal

Chloride channels represent a group of targets for major clinical indications. However, molecular screening for chloride channel modulators has proven to be difficult and time-consuming as approaches essentially rely on the use of fluorescent dyes or invas ...

Automated statistical quantification of three-dimensional morphology and mean corpuscular hemoglobin of multiple red blood cells

Pierre Marquet, Daniel Boss

In this paper, we present an automated approach to quantify information about three-dimensional (3D) morphology, hemoglobin content and density of mature red blood cells (RBCs) using off-axis digital holographic microscopy (DHM) and statistical algorithms. ...

Spatially-Resolved Eigenmode Decomposition of Red Blood Cells Membrane Fluctuations Questions the Role of ATP in Flickering

Pierre Magistretti, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Christian Depeursinge, Benjamin Rappaz, Pierre Marquet, Daniel Boss, Annick Hoffmann

Red blood cells (RBCs) present unique reversible shape deformability, essential for both function and survival, resulting notably in cell membrane fluctuations (CMF). These CMF have been subject of many studies in order to obtain a better understanding of ...
