Temperature-Dependent Elasticity of Microtubules (2008)
Kis, A, Kasas, S, Kulik, A J, Catsicas, S, Forro, L
Central to the biological function of microtubules is their ability to modify their length which occurs by addition and removal of subunits at the ends of the polymer, both in vivo and in vitro. This...
Cellular toxicity of carbon-based nanomaterials (2007)
Magrez, A., Kasas, S., Salicio, V., Pasquier, N., Seo, J. W., Celio, M., ...
The cellular toxicity of carbon-based nanomaterials was studied as a function of their aspect ratio and surface chemistry. These structures were multiwalled carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, and...

Nanomechanics of microtubules (2002)
Kis, A, Kasas, S, Babic, B, Kulik, AJ, Benoit, W, Briggs, GAD, ...
We have determined the mechanical anisotropy of a single microtubule by simultaneously measuring the Young's and the shear moduli in vitro. This was achieved by elastically deforming the microtubule...
Interactions between synaptic vesicle fusion proteins explored by atomic force microscopy
Yersin, A., Hirling, H., Steiner, P., Magnin, S., Regazzi, R., Hüni, B., ...
Measuring the biophysical properties of macromolecular complexes at work is a major challenge of modern biology. The protein complex composed of vesicle-associated membrane protein 2,...
Observation of living cells using the atomic force microscope.
Kasas, S, Gotzos, V, Celio, M R
We used an atomic force microscope (AFM) to image samples immersed in a fluid in order to study the dynamic behavior of the membranes of living cells. AFM images of cultured cells immersed in a...
A method for anchoring round shaped cells for atomic force microscope imaging.
More and more researchers are interested in imaging living (Henderson, 1994) or fixed cells in their natural environment using the atomic force microscope (AFM). However, the AFM tip interacts...
Guthold, M, Zhu, X, Rivetti, C, Yang, G, Thomson, N H, Kasas, S, ...
The dynamics of nonspecific and specific Escherichia coli RNA polymerase (RNAP)-DNA complexes have been directly observed using scanning force microscopy operating in buffer. To this end, imaging...
