Sensory-Neuron Subtype-Specific Transcriptional Programs Controlling Dendrite Morphogenesis: Genome-wide Analysis of Abrupt and Knot/Collier

Developmental Cell
… Their profiles were similarly enriched in cell-type-specific enhancers of genes implicated in neural development. … these targets included genes necessary to shape dendritic arbors in either or both of the two sensory subtypes. … Furthermore, a common target gene, encoding the cell adhesion molecule Ten-m, was expressed more strongly in class I than IV, and this differential was critical to the class-selective directional control of dendritic branch sprouting or extension. …

Journal of bioscience and bioengineering 116(3), 391-396, 2013-09
… An atomic force microscope probe can be formed into an ultra-sharp cylindrical shape (a nanoneedle) using micro-fabrication techniques such as focused ion beam etching. … This nanoneedle can be effectively inserted through the plasma membrane of a living cell to not only access the cytosol, but also to penetrate through the nuclear membrane. … Repeated insertions of a nanoneedle into a live cell were previously shown not to affect cell viability. …
