Fig. 6 from “On the magnetic nanostructure of a Co–Cu alloy processed by high-pressure torsion” by Martin Stückler et al.: 2 μm × 2 μm AFM scans of (a) as-deformed state and (c) 300 °C annealed state. The corresponding MFM scans of the as-deformed and 300 °C annealed state are shown in (b) and (d) respectively. The axial direction of the HPT specimen points out of the plane, the shear direction is in horizontal direction. The lateral scale bar in (a) applies to all scans. The minimum height and phase signal values are shifted to zero for visualization purposes. NANOSENSORS SSS-MFMR magnetic AFM probes optimized for high resolution magnetic force microscopy were used

Lately the production of nanocrystalline magnetic materials starting with coarse grained materials (top-down approach) has received increasing interest.* The advantage of the top-down approach compared… Read More »On the magnetic nanostructure of a Co–Cu alloy processed by high-pressure torsion

Figure 4 from “Cytoskeletal disorganization underlies PABPN1-mediated myogenic disability” by Cyriel Sebastiaan Olie et al. Disrupted cytoskeletal spatial organization in shPAB human muscle cell cultures. A Representative images of control and shPAB human muscle cell cultures, stained with antibodies to tubulin and actin, and the actin filaments were visualized with actin-GFP. B Tubulin staining in control and shPAB myoblast cell cultures after DMSO, 100 nM nocodazole or 25 nM paclitaxel treatment for 2 h. Scale bar is 25 µm. C Measurements of cell-mechanics properties in control and shPAB cells using the Brillouin Light Scattering Microscopy (Ci) or the Atomic Force Microscopy (Cii). Measurements were carried out in myoblasts; every dot represents the median from 1000 measurements in a cell. Cell stiffness is measured by GHz, and the young modulus reports the cell surface tension. Averages and standard deviations are from N = 15 cells. Statistical significance was calculated with the student’s t-test. NANOSENSORS uniqprobe qp-BioAC ( CB3 ) AFM probes were used in the quantitative imaging of cell-mechanics properties where a force curve is applied at each point.

Muscle wasting is connected with changes in various cellular mechanisms that influence protein homeostasis, transcription, protein acetylation and different metabolic pathways. * Scientific studies have… Read More »Cytoskeletal disorganization underlies PABPN1-mediated myogenic disability
