Super-resolution microscopy offers tremendous opportunities to unravel the complex and dynamic architecture of living cells. However, current super-resolution microscopes are well suited for revealing protein distributions or cell morphology, but not both. We present a super-resolution platform that permits correlative single-molecule imaging and stimulated emission depletion microscopy in live cells. It gives nanoscale access to the positions and movements of synaptic proteins within the morphological context of growth cones and dendritic spines.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), membrane-encapsulated nanoparticles shed from all cells, are tightly involved in critical cellular functions. Moreover, EVs have recently emerged as exciting therapeutic modalities, delivery vectors, and biomarker sources. However, EVs are difficult to characterize, because they are typically small and heterogeneous in size, origin, and molecular content.

The regulation of cell physiology depends largely upon interactions of functionally distinct proteins and cellular components. These interactions may be transient or long-lived, but often affect protein motion. Measurement of protein dynamics within a cellular environment, particularly while perturbing protein function with small molecules, may enable dissection of key interactions and facilitate drug discovery; however, current approaches are limited by throughput with respect to data acquisition and analysis.

Live imaging of secretory cargoes is a powerful method for understanding the mechanisms of membrane trafficking. Inducing the synchronous release of cargoes from an organelle is key for enhancing microscopic observation. We developed an optical cargo-releasing method, 'retention using dark state of LOV2' (RudLOV), which enables precise spatial, temporal, and quantity control during cargo release.

We present the development of an advanced sensing platform using a monolayer of graphene functionalized with fluorophore-labeled DNA hairpins to detect the kinetics of single hairpins during the hybridization reaction. The near-field photonic effects of graphene induce a distance-dependent quenching effect on the attached fluorescent labels, resulting in distinct optical signals in response to axial displacements resulting from DNA hybridization. Employing a wide-field Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) optical setup coupled with a sensitive Electron-Multiplying Charge-Coupled Device (EM-CCD) camera, we successfully detected fluorescent signals of individual or a low number of individual DNA hairpins within a low-concentration environment DNA target (tDNA).
