Dynamic single-molecule experiments expose catch bonds as key to cell strength and flexibility

In a recent Nature Materials publication, scientists show for the first time how certain types of molecular bonds known as “catch bonds” make it possible for cells to combine both mechanical strength to withstand forces and adaptability to change shape and move. By performing dynamic single-molecule experiments with LUMICKS’ C-Trap®,…

C-Trap^® experiments suggest tubulin lattice state dictates tau envelope formation

Tau is an intrinsically disordered microtubule-associated protein (MAP) that helps stabilize microtubules by forming an envelope around them. This stabilizing protein has been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, where abnormal chemical changes promote detachment of tau from microtubules and the formation of long threads that eventually lead to…

m-Trap^® allows precise control of biological activities in synthetic membraneless organelles (MLOs) in real time

Until recently, the understanding of membraneless organelles (MLOs) was hindered by the inability to control their bioactivities in a precise manner. In a recent Nature Communications article from the lab of Huang and Sun, University of Hong Kong, researchers were able to overcome this obstacle by producing synthetic MLOs that…

Dynamic single-molecule analysis reveals non-linear stiffening of mitotic chromosomes

In a recent study performed by Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and the University of Copenhagen, researchers used LUMICKS’ u-Flux™ laminar flow microfluidics system together with optical tweezers and fluorescence microscopy – features combined in LUMICKS’ C-Trap® – to shed light on the structural organization of mitotic chromosomes. When preparing to undergo…

Cancer Cell Paper Identifies “Avidity Enhancement” As New Strategy for Improving CAR T Therapy for Acute Myeloid Leukemia

The study details a novel strategy for better cancer treatment with CAR T cells for AML. "Avidity Enhancement", increasing cell-cell binding from both the tumor and CAR T cell side, led to a more effective eradication of tumors in mouse models of AML.

C-Trap^® studies reveal GroEL-ES protein folding acceleration mechanism

In a recent Science Advances publication, the group of Sander J. Tans from the AMOLF Institute, The Netherlands, demonstrate for the first time, at the single molecule level, how the molecular chaperone GroEL-ES modulates protein chain collapse and stimulates protein folding. Using LUMICKS’ C-Trap®, they were able to follow and visualize…

Nature Paper Identifies “Avidity Escape” as Solid Tumor Evasion Mechanism of CAR T Cell Cancer Therapies

In this study led by the team of Dr. Marcela Maus at Harvard Medical School, the LUMICKS z-Movi® Cell Avidity Analyzer showed that loss of interferon-γ receptor (IFNγR) signaling decreased cell binding avidity between CAR T cells and their target solid tumor cells.

Exploring biomolecular condensate dynamics with the C-Trap^® reveals viscoelastic fluid behavior

In a recent article published in Nature Communications by the group of Huan-Xiang Zhou from the University of Illinois, Dr. Archishman Ghosh and co-workers provided insights into the dynamics of biomolecular condensates. Using LUMICKS’ C-Trap® with a dual-trap optical tweezer configuration they obtained direct evidence showing that phase-separated biopolymer condensates…
