Guiding neuronal growth with light ?
Optical forces can impact diffusive behavior.
Theory 1
Mechanical manipulation of a membrane.
Theory 2
Dynamic Excitations in Membranes Induced by Optical Tweezers
Colloidal effects
Theory 3
PEARLING OF CYLINDRICAL VESICLES
Laser-induced rounding
Tests for each theory
Theory 1 :* in vitro actin polymeried under laser beam * Listeria movement as membrance moving model
Theory 2: *using flow cell to apply shear force on membrance
Theory 3: *using indirect phenomena ex: pearling, rounding, retrcation, or in water *direct observe by EM or light scattering
