Open Master Thesis project: Unveiling Nucleus Elasticity In Situ with Dual Control System
In this full time master project, we delve into the intricate world of cell nuclei as pivotal intracellular mechanosensors and mechanotransducers. Traditional methods for in situ nucleus elasticity measurement often demand elaborate hardware setups and intensive computational analysis. Our pioneering approach combines a FluidFM injection system with simultaneous fluorescent video recording during force spectroscopy, enhancing both spatial resolution and cellular event preservation. By meticulously correlating indentation events with nucleus membrane rupture, we accurately pinpoint serial contact points within force curves. The essence of our study lies in data analysis and image processing, enabling us to unravel the nuanced variations in elastic modulus between the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
