Our ability to detect, image, and quantify nanoscopic objects and molecules with visible light
has undergone dramatic improvements over the past few decades. While fluorescence has …

Fluorescence microscopy has been the workhorse for investigating optical phenomena at
the nanometer scale but this approach confronts several fundamental limits. As a result …

Many of the biological functions of a cell are dictated by the intricate motion of proteins within
its membrane over a spatial range of nanometres to tens of micrometres and time intervals of …

Optical studies have revealed that, after binding, virions move laterally on the plasma
membrane, but the complexity of the cellular environment and the drawbacks of …

Interferometric scattering microscopy (iSCAT) is an extremely sensitive imaging method
based on the efficient detection of light scattered by nanoscopic objects. The ability to, at …

Abstract Incoming simian virus 40 (SV40) particles enter tight-fitting plasma membrane
invaginations after binding to the carbohydrate moiety of GM1 gangliosides in the host cell …

We present to a general readership an overview of the rich variety of phenomena and
applications that arise from the interaction of metallic nanoparticles with light. First, we …

Interferometric scattering microscopy (iSCAT) is a light scattering-based imaging modality
that offers a unique combination of imaging speed and precision for tracking nanoscopic …

Receptor-mediated endocytosis is used by a number of viruses and toxins to gain entry into
cells. Some have evolved to use specific lipids in the plasma membrane as their receptors …

In this paper, a reaction–diffusion within-host HIV model is proposed. It incorporates cell
mobility, spatial heterogeneity and cell-to-cell transmission, which depends on the diffusion …
