Examine Cell Mechanics With Fast Single Cell Force Spectroscopy

What promotes cell adhesion, what reduces it? And by how much? Working with cell cultures, adhesion or the lack thereof has great impact on culture viability, growth speed, and even differentiation. Using unique microfabricated and force-sensitive pipettes, the adhesion of cells can now be quantified much faster and studied on the single cell level with FluidFM technology.

			Scientists discover tuberculosis bacterium channels vitamins into the cell A new study published in the journal Nature in March 2020 reports a unique transport protein found within the tubercle bacillus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This huge membrane-spanning vesicular protein is different from other transport proteins and is instrumental in carrying hydrophilic molecules, notably vitamin B12 or cobalamin, across the cell membrane.

			What is Cell Surface Proteomics? Cell surface proteomics is the study of cell surface proteins, which can be essential in understanding protein structure, function, modifications they undergo, and more. This information can be crucial in identifying potential biomarkers of disease, such as cancer, and can be influential in the establishment of innovative therapies.
