Force sensor (IMAGE)
Caption
The image shows the principle of action of the intracellular force sensor on the left. The fluorescent proteins (yellow and cyan) are derived from jellyfish, while the rubber band part (black) has utilized spider web protein. The target protein-binding antibodies (dark brown) are derived from alpacas. The image to the right is a comparison of super-resolution microscopy and conventional microscopy imaging of the cell nucleus.
