50 years ago, wow!Wed Dec 14 2022

On December 14th, 1972 the Lunar module of the Apollo 17 mission launched from the lunar surface. This means that the last time a human set foot on the Moon was exactly half a century ago.

Let’s explore more! Let’s go back to the Moon and beyond!

Chemically characterizing the cortical cell nano-structure of human hair using atomic force microscopy integrated with infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR)Thu Dec 08 2022

The structure of hair fibres has been the focus of much research over the last century with several techniques used to investigate their structure. *

The main constituent of hair fibres of relevance to their mass, volume and associated mechanical properties is the cortex. *

As the major constituent, and responsible for a significant proportion of the structural and mechanical properties of hair, quantitative characterization of the chemical and physical sub-structure of the cortex is important. *

In the article “Chemically characterizing the cortical cell nano-structure of human hair using atomic force microscopy integrated with infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR)” A. P. Fellows, M. T. L. Casford and P. B. Davies describe how they used the hybrid technique of AFM-IR, combining atomic force microscopy with an IR laser, which circumvents the diffraction limit of light and achieves nanoscale chemical resolution down to the AFM tip radius. *

Their study extends the work of previous publications, focussing on chemical characterization of the internal sub-structures of hair cortical cells in order to gain insight into the differential constitution of the individual components. *

The atomic force microscopy integrated with infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR) was employed on ultra-thin microtomed cross-sections of human hair fibres to spectrally distinguish and characterize the specific protein structures and environments within the nanoscale components of cortical cells. *

The resulting spectral analysis showed clear distinctions in the Amide bands in the macrofibrils and surrounding intermacrofibrillar matrix, yielding novel insight into the molecular structure and intermolecular stabilization interactions of the constituent proteins within each cortical component.*

NANOSENSORS™ gold coated AdvancedTEC ATEC-ContAu tip view AFM probes (typical force constant: 0.2 N/m, typical resonance frequency: 15 kHz) were used. *

Please have a look at the NANOSENSORS blog for the full citation and a direct link to the full article.

Happy birthday Prof. Quate!Wed Dec 07 2022

Today we remember the late Prof. Calvin Quate, who, together with Gerd Binnig and Christoph Gerber, constructed the first Atomic Force Microscope in 1986. The three scientists received the Kavli Prize in 2016 in recognition of their invention.

Happy birthday Prof. Quate!

Male-female communication enhances release of extracellular vesicles leading to high fertility in DrosophilaFri Oct 28 2022

Male-female communication enhances release of extracellular vesicles leading to high fertility in Drosophila

The female reproductive tract (female-RT) must decipher the repertoire of molecular cues received from the male during copulation in order to activate and coordinate tract functionality necessary for high fertility. In Drosophila, this modulation is partially driven by spermathecal secretory cells (SSC). The SSC are a layer of cuboidal secretory glandular cells surrounding the spermatheca […]
