2 Figure 1 Mechanically Probing Cell-Signaling Pathways with Magnetoplasmonic Nanoparticles Conventional micron-size probes can form multivalent interactions with cell surface receptors, perturbing cellular structure and immobilizing receptors, whereas magnetoplasmonic nanoparticles (MPNs) have the ability to bind monovalently (one-to-one), providing precise chemical and physical control of ligand-receptor binding. In the presence of a magnetic field, the MPNs can spatially localize and apply controlled mechanical forces to the targeted receptors.
