New Methods and Sensors for Membrane and Cell Volume Research, Volume 88 provides an overview of novel experimental approaches to study both the cell membrane and the under-membrane space - the cytosol, which have lately began drawing renewed attention. The book's overall emphasis is on fluorescent and FRET-based sensors, however, other optical (such as variants of transmission microscopy) and non-optical methods (neutron scattering and mass spectrometry) also have dedicated chapters. This volume provides a rare review of experimental approaches to study intracellular phase transitions, as well as anion channels, membrane tension and dynamics, and other topics of intense current interest.

Über Autor(innen)

Model, Michael
Michael Model got an M.S. in materials science from Russia and continued his education at the University of Michigan, where he received a Ph.D. in biophysics in 1995. Since 2004, he has been working at Kent State University, first as a microscopy facility manager and currently as an associate professor in the Department of Biological Sciences. While at Kent State, he developed a new microscopic method to measure cell volume, and that prompted him to turn to the physiology of cell volume regulation. He is also interested in the biological role and control of macromolecular crowding and continues to work on microscopic techniques and their applications.
