Tracking of plus-ends reveals microtubule functional diversity in different cell types
M. Reza Shaebani, Aravind Pasula, Albrecht Ott +1
Many cellular processes are tightly connected to the dynamics of microtubules (MTs). While in neuronal axons MTs mainly regulate intracellular trafficking, they participate in cyto…
Ultrahigh molecular recognition specificity of competing DNA oligonucleotide strands in thermal equilibrium: a cooperative transition to order
Marc Schenkelberger, Christian Trapp, Timo Mai +1
The specificity of molecular recognition is important to molecular self-organization. A prominent example is the biological cell where, within a highly crowded molecular environmen…
Single cell mechanics: stress stiffening and kinematic hardening
Pablo Fernández, Albrecht Ott
Cell mechanical properties are fundamental to the organism but remain poorly understood. We report a comprehensive phenomenological framework for the nonlinear rheology of single f…
Hybridization to surface-bound oligonucleotide probes: Influence of point defects
Thomas Naiser, Oliver Ehler, Timo Mai +2
Microarray-based genotyping is based on the high discrimination capability of oligonucleotide probes. For detection of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) single-base discrimina…
A versatile maskless microscope projection photolithography system and its application in light-directed fabrication of DNA microarrays
Thomas Naiser, Timo Mai, Wolfgang Michel +1
We present a maskless microscope projection lithography system (MPLS), in which photomasks have been replaced by a Digital Micromirror Device type spatial light modulator (DMD, Tex…
Osmotically Driven Shape Transformations in Axons
Pramod A. Pullarkat, Paul Dommersnes, Pablo Fernández +3
We report a cylindrical-peristaltic shape transformation in axons exposed to a controlled osmotic perturbation. The peristaltic shape relaxes and the axon recovers its original geo…
