Microtubule Patterning and Manipulation Using Electrophoresis and Self-Assembled Monolayers

Microtubule Patterning and Manipulation Using Electrophoresis and Self-Assembled Monolayers

We developed new methods for controlling and studying microtubules (MTs) outside the complex workings of the living cell. Several surface treatments for preventing MT fouling on surfaces were analyzed and, for the first time, a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) was developed which prevented MT adsorpti...
