Multi-step assembly of individual protein building blocks is key to the formation of essential higher-order structures inside and outside of cells. Optical tweezers is a technique well suited to investigate the mechanics and dynamics of these structu

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the extracellular matrix (ECM), where its structural organization conveys mechanical information to cells. Using optical-tweezers-based microrheology, we investigated mechanical properties both of collagen mol

Molecular biology is messy and complex. The future of life sciences research, drug development, and many fields depends on our ability to unravel the complex, biophysical phenomena that underlie cellular function with a finer level of resolution. Usi

We investigate the rheological properties of interpenetrating networks reconstituted from the main cytoskeletal components: filamentous actin, microtubules, and vimentin intermediate filaments. The elastic modulus is determined largely by actin, with

Biopolymer condensates formed by liquid-liquid phase separation of proteins and nucleic acids have been recently discovered to be prevalent in biology. These dynamic condensates behave like biochemical reaction vessels but little is known about their

Collagen is the fundamental structural component of a wide range of connective tissues and of the extracellular matrix. It undergoes self-assembly from individual triple-helical proteins into well-ordered fibrils, a process that is key to tissue deve

The local viscoelasticity was compared between full-length and telopeptide-removed collagen solutions using optical-tweezers-based microrheology. An enhanced modulus at higher concentrations in full-length collagen solutions suggests contributions fr

Collagen is the predominant protein in vertebrates, where it comprises more than 1/4 of the total protein and performs structural and mechanical tasks in the extracellular matrix and connective tissues. Formed intracellularly as a triple helical prot
