Research team reveals hidden particle interactions at the cell surface
Is it possible that in most measurements in the field of life sciences, important interactions remain hidden inside the cell or at the cell surface? This question has puzzled the team of laser- and bio-physicist Prof. Dr. Alexander Rohrbach from the University of Freiburg for years. He and his colleague Dr. Felix Jünger have been investigating various interactions of particles in the size range of bacteria, i.e., a few micrometers, and even of viruses, around 0.1 micrometers, on different cell surfaces.
