CAPTURING THE PHYSICS OF LIFE ON 3D-TRAFFICKING SUBCELLULAR NANOSYSTEMS
Which physical principles govern life regulation at the level of subcellular, membrane-enclosed nanosystems, such as transport vesicles and organelles? How do they achieve controlled movements across the crowded intracellular world? Which is the structural and functional organization of their surface and their lumen? This is only a small subset of key open questions that the biophysical approach envisaged here will allow to answer directly within living matter, for the first time. Thus far, state-of-the-art optical microscopy tools for delivering quantitative information in living matter failed to subtract the natural 3D movement of subcellular nanosystems while preserving the spatial and…
