چکیده

Resolving the movement of individual molecules in living cells by single particle tracking methods has allowed many molecular behaviors to be deciphered over the past three decades. These methods have increasingly benefited from advances in microscopy of single nano-objects such as fluorescent dye molecules, proteins or nanoparticles as well as tiny absorbing metal nanoparticles. In parallel to these efforts aiming at tracking ever smaller and more photostable nano-objects in living cells, the development of localization-based super-resolution imaging provided means to increase the number of single molecules tracked on a single cell. In this review we will present the most recent advances in the field.

Noninvasive Stem Cell Labeling Using USPIO Technique and their Detection with MRI

Background: To date, several imaging techniques to track stem cells are used such as positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), Bioluminescence imaging (BLI), fluorescence imaging, CT scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Although, overall sensitivity of MRI compared to SPECT and Bioluminescence techniques are lower, but due to high spatial reso...

3D single molecule tracking of quantum-dot labeled antibody molecules using multifocal plane microscopy.

Single molecule tracking in three dimensions (3D) in a live cell environment promises to reveal important new insights into cell biological mechanisms. However, classical microscopy techniques suffer from poor depth discrimination which severely limits single molecule tracking in 3D with high temporal and spatial resolution. We introduced a novel imaging modality, multifocal plane microscopy (M...

Dynamic Organization of Chromatin Domains Revealed by Super-Resolution Live-Cell Imaging.

The eukaryotic genome is organized within cells as chromatin. For proper information output, higher-order chromatin structures can be regulated dynamically. How such structures form and behave in various cellular processes remains unclear. Here, by combining super-resolution imaging (photoactivated localization microscopy [PALM]) and single-nucleosome tracking, we developed a nuclear imaging sy...
