Plasma membrane preassociation drives Ξ²-arrestin coupling to receptors and activation.

Cell 2023 πŸ“Š 73

Ξ²-arrestin plays a key role in G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling and desensitization. Despite recent structural advances, the mechanisms that govern receptor-Ξ²-arrestin interactions at the...

Multi-camera Simultaneous Total Internal Reflection and Interference Reflection Microscopy.

bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology 2024

Abstract Interference Reflection Microscopy (IRM) is an optical technique that relies on the interference between the reflected light from an incident beam as it passes...

Physical genomics: Why gene regulation is tug of war between polymer physics and biochemistry.

Current opinion in structural biology 2026

DNA-protein interactions underlie genome activity, governing gene expression as well as the physical organisation of DNA. Until recently, DNA-protein complexes were predominantly described at atomic...

Single-cell profiling of kinase substrate phosphorylation by single-molecule imaging.

PloS one 2026

Protein phosphorylation regulates diverse cellular processes, yet its analysis at the single-cell level remains challenging due to the low abundance of phosphoproteins. Here, we present...

Bridged-Bicyclic Fluorophores Push Photophysical Boundaries for Live-Cell Imaging.

Bridging single-molecule and genome-wide studies of cellular mRNA translation.

RNA (New York, N.Y.) 2026

The translation of mRNA is a tightly regulated, energy-intensive process that drives cellular diversity. Understanding its control requires tools that can capture behavior across scales....

A Streamlined Protocol for Single-Molecule Localization Microscopy in Arabidopsis Nuclei.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE 2026

While confocal fluorescence microscopy has provided valuable insights into chromatin organization in plant nuclei, its diffraction-limited resolution constrains the investigation of chromatin architecture, motivating the...
