Atomic Force Microscopy on Astrocyte purinergic receptor P2Y recognition
Researchers from the Institute for Biophysics (Department of Nanobiotechnology) in collaboration with the group of Prof. Maria Teresa Miras-Portugal (Univ. Complutense Madrid, Spain), have employed Atomic Force Microscopy to detect and evaluate the impact of selective stimulation on native nucleotide receptors on the mechanical response of both endothelial cells and astrocytes.
