He has now been able to combine it with a saturation of fluorophores, which provides resolution in the 50 nm range.

His work certainly provides one of the strongest arguments in favour of a three-dimensional approach to biological research.

The micro-contact printing technique is employed to investigate the influence of both cell shape and adhesion signalling on the orientation of the cell division axis. The main result of this work is that the spatial organization of micro-patterned fibronectin adhesive points is the main factor determining the orientation of the mitotic spindle. This assay provides interesting insights on how cell-cell and cell-ECM interactions could influence the spindle orientation in vivo.

Wolf Tumor-cell invasion and migration: diversity and escape mechanisms Nat Rev Cancer 3 2003 362 374 Cancer cells can swiftly reprogram their migration strategy during invasion and metastasis, depending on the biochemical and mechanical properties of their microenvironment. Such high adaptability might be the reason why most of the drug candidates targeting adhesion or protease activity have proved to be ineffective in clinical trials.

Complementary to the light-microscopy-based experiments, electron cryo-microscopy is employed to analyze the structural basis of the effects of the N-terminal part of CLIP-170 on microtubule dynamics.
