The paper uses a non-toxic SM probe to show dynamic SM and cholesterol domains in the cytosolic leaflet of plasma membranes.

The paper demonstrates that focal adhesion membrane is partitioned into compartments where molecules undergo hop diffusion, with protein islands acting as dynamic hubs for integrin interactions.

This paper develops an ultrafast camera system for single fluorescent-molecule imaging and live-cell PALM, achieving high temporal and spatial resolution for studying cellular dynamics.

High-speed single-molecule imaging shows outer-leaflet rafts induce transbilayer raft phases that recruit inner-leaflet signaling molecules via lipid interactions.

This study reveals that CD44 forms a meso-scale meshwork at the plasma membrane, regulated by actin dynamics and nano-scale clustering.
