We are happy to announce that our latest application note “Manipulating and Studying Cellular Mechanics and Functions in Real Time” is available to download on our website.
In this application note, you can read how we, together with three different research groups, used the C-Trap™ optical tweezers – fluorescence & label-free microscopy system to study diverse features associated with cellular mechanics and functions in real time. We present three research-specific approaches using the C-Trap to analyze cell properties in diverse contexts:
- How mechanical stimuli or stresses affect cell receptor responses – together with the Javitch Lab at Columbia University in New York,
- Filopodia formation and functions – together with the Titus Lab at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis,
- Cellular droplet fusion and small components in a multicellular organism – together with the Starr Lab at the University of California in Davis.
We thank all our collaborators for the excellent teamwork and wish you continued success in your future research.
