Nanoscale live-cell imaging using hopping probe ion conductance microscopy.

27 Feb 2009 We describe hopping mode scanning ion conductance microscopy that allows noncontact imaging of the complex three-dimensional surfaces of live cells with resolution better than 20 nm. We tested the effectiveness of this technique by imaging networks ... Read more...

Cohesin, gene expression and development: lessons from Drosophila.

30 Dec 2008 The cohesin complex, discovered through its role in sister chromatid cohesion, also plays roles in gene expression and development in organisms from yeast to human. This review highlights what has been learned about the gene control and ... Read more...

Condensin: Architect of mitotic chromosomes.

30 Dec 2008 Condensin is a highly conserved pentameric complex consisting of two structural maintenance of chromosome (SMC) ATPase subunits and three auxiliary components. While initially regarded as a key driver of mitotic chromosome condensation, condensin is ... Read more...
