Probing dynamics of intracellular components using physical chemistry techniques is a
remarkable bottom-up approach for understanding the structures and functions of a …

We report direct observation of a spatial distribution of water molecules inside of a living cell
using Raman images of the O–H stretching band of water. The O–H Raman intensity of the …

Time-resolved confocal microscopy is applied to compare fluorescence properties of gold
nanocluster (Au-NC) inside human breast cells with those in bulk water. In bulk water, Au …

Intermittent structural oscillation in the lipid droplets of live lung cells is monitored using time-
resolved confocal microscopy. Significant differences are observed between the lung cancer …

A rhodamine conjugate (L) with a pseudo Stokes shift of 165 nm is used for probing changes
in solution pH under physiological conditions. This reagent is found to be nontoxic, and the …

Fluorescence dynamics in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of a live non‐cancer lung cell
(WI38) and a lung cancer cell (A549) are studied by using time‐resolved confocal …

Cytochrome c‐capped fluorescent gold nanoclusters (Au‐NCs) are used for imaging of live
lung and breast cells. Delivery of cytochrome c inside the cells is confirmed by covalently …

Structural relaxation of the acridine orange (AO) dimer in bulk water and inside a single live
lung cell is studied using time resolved confocal microscopy and molecular dynamics (MD) …

Success in any field requires strength in many matters. However, our training is never
adequate because of the continuous changes occurring around us. When I look back, I …

A live cell is a complex, yet extremely important container. Understanding the dynamics in a
selected intracellular component is a challenging task. We have recently made significant …
