Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study attempted to develop a novel approach for quantifying intracellular vesicle trafficking dynamics utilizing Quantum-dot-based single molecule imaging in a isolated skeletal muscle fiber from mouse. Intracellular dynamics of GLUT4, an insulin-responsive glucose transporter, as well as of transferrin receptor (TfR) were successfully quantified with this novel approach. In addition, the superresolution G-STED microscopy was employed to observe intracellular vesicles and organelles containing GLUT4 and/or TfR.
