Article Title: Quantifying 3D live-cell membrane dynamics using dynamic metal-induced energy transfer spectroscopy (dynaMIET)
doi: 10.1126/sciadv.aed9613
Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Schematic of the dynaMIET experiment conducted on a PM-labeled cell on top of a MIET substrate. ( B and E ) Same as , but for the PM system. n = 40 independent measurements over three independent experiments for living cells, and n = 25 independent measurements over two independent experiments for fixed cells. Data are obtained from independent measurements on multiple cells. For each cell, only one to two independent measurements were collected to avoid pseudo-replication. Independent experiments refer to measurements performed on different days using independently prepared samples. ( C and F ) Box plots of mean height values h 0 , diffusion coefficients D , fluctuation amplitudes ψ , and relaxation times τ ∗ for living and fixed cells. ( D ) Reconstructed 3D topography of the fluorescently labeled basal PM of a living COS-7 cell on a MIET substrate. The bottom panel offers an alternative viewing angle. Height is color-coded for clarity.
