Visualising the membrane viscosity of porcine eye lens cells using molecular rotors Peter S. S, Peter S. herin López Duarte, Ismael Dent, Michael R. Markéta Kubánková Vyšniauskas, Aurimas Bull, James A. Reshetnikova, Evdokiya S. Klymchenko, Andrey S. Tsentalovich, Yuri P. Kuimova, Marina K. The plasma membranes of cells within the eye lens play an important role in metabolite transport within the avascular tissue of the lens, maintaining its transparency over the entire lifespan of an individual. Here we use viscosity-sensitive ‘molecular rotors’ to map the microscopic viscosity within these unusual cell membranes, establishing that they are characterised by an unprecedentedly high degree of lipid organisation. 2025-01-17T12:41:21Z 2025-01-17T12:41:21Z 2017 journal article Sherin, Peter S., et al. «Visualising the Membrane Viscosity of Porcine Eye Lens Cells Using Molecular Rotors».
