The aim of this thesis was to explore the cell mechanical properties using the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). The cell membrane contains lipids microdomains, called rafts, enriched in cholesterol and sphingolipids. The rafts are believed to play an importa ...
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the most abundant class of proteins in the cell body. Such receptors are of major interest as potential therapeutic targets. Downscaling and parallelization of bioanalytics opens novel routes to rapidly screen and id ...
Compartmentalization is a defining feature of eukaryotic cells that allows the spatial segregation of different functions, such as protein and lipid synthesis, and ensures their fidelity and efficiency. This imposes the need for an intense flux of metaboli ...
Eukaryotic cells are organized into a complex system of subcompartments, each with its distinct protein and lipid composition. A continuous flux of membranes crosses these compartments, and in some cases direct connections exist between the different organ ...
Quantitative Phase Imaging techniques including DHM have been applied recently in the field of cell imaging to monitor and quantify non-invasively dynamic cellular processes modifying cell morphology and/or content. Concretely, the DHM phase signal is high ...

In this work we discuss how to use photophysical information for improved quantitative measurements using Photo Activated Localization Microscopy (PALM) imaging. We introduce a method that reliably estimates the number of photoblinking molecules present in ...
Recent developments in single-molecule localization techniques using photoactivatable fluorescent proteins have allowed the probing of single-molecule motion in a living cell with high specificity, millisecond time resolution, and nanometer spatial resolut ...
The molecular machinery responsible for the generation of transport carriers moving from the Golgi complex to the plasma membrane relies on a tight interplay between proteins and lipids. Among the lipid-binding proteins of this machinery, we previously ide ...
We introduce here a new class of BODIPY-based Ca2+ indicators which can be derivatized with biological ligands that permit the localization of the indicators in living cells. The underivatized BODIPY-based Ca2+ indicator (BOCA-1) shows a 250-fold increase ...
The efficacy and success of many cellular processes is dependent on a tight orchestration of proteins trafficking to and from their site(s) of action in a time-controlled fashion. Recently, a dynamic cycle of palmitoylation/de-palmitoylation has been shown ...
