Super-resolution imaging of intracellular transport
Cell Biophysics & Physical BiologyProject description
Intracellular transport is highly important for maintaining cellular homeostasis. Motor-proteins transport vesicular cargos along microtubules, overcoming roadblocks and traffick jams along the way. Using super-resolution microscopy in combination with single particle tracking, we are studying the mechanisms that motors use to effectively transport their cargo in the crowded cellular environment.
