Defects in the global organization of chromatin are relevant in many pathological processes, including cancer. The activation of oncogenes has been recognized as a triggering event of alterations in the dynamics of replication, transcription and DNA damage response (DDR), that may lead to increased DNA damage and the onset of genomic...

Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM) is an important tool among the Super Resolution Microscopy techniques [1]. SIM stands out for its capability to perform optical sectioning, multicolor channel acquisition and live cell imaging, thanks to its low phototoxicity. In SIM, the specimen is illuminated with a high-frequency grating pattern,...

The fact that the size of many molecular complexes is in the range of 10 to 100nm has generated a growing interest for the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy techniques. Optical super-resolution is generally achieved by switching on-off the fluorophores by stochastic or targeted approaches [1]. For instance, in stimulated...

The nucleus is the cellular organelle that harbors the genetic information into DNA, which forms with histone proteins the fundamental unit of chromatin. Chromatin is organized by physical and molecular forces, like phase separation and molecular crowding, into functional domains whose formation and mobility correlate to chromatin compaction...

The architectural organization of chromatin can play an important role in gene expression by regulating the diffusion of molecules via binding interactions and molecular crowding [1]. In this respect, understanding how variations of chromatin architecture affect nuclear dynamics is of fundamental importance. Fluorescence Correlation...

The possibility of integrating different light-matter interactions to form images in optical microscopy is the starting point for the design and realization of LIQUITOPY®, a ''liquid tunable microscope''. This could represent a new paradigm in data collection and image formation with a potential high impact in biophysics. Liquid takes...

The possibility of integrating different light-matter interaction ways for producing images in optical microscopy is the starting point for the design and realization of a brand new optical microscope that has been named "liquid tunable microscope". This represents a new paradigm in data collection and image formation with a potential high...
