Infections caused by enveloped viruses require fusion with cellular membranes for viral
genome entry. Viral entry occurs following an interaction of viral and cellular membranes …

Visualization of cellular dynamics using fluorescent light microscopy has become a reliable
and indispensable source of experimental evidence for biological studies. Over the past two …

Monitoring the proteins and lipids that mediate all cellular processes requires imaging
methods with increased spatial and temporal resolution. STED (stimulated emission …

In recent years, the number of studies implicating lipids in the regulation of synaptic vesicle
exocytosis has risen considerably. It has become increasingly clear that lipids such as …

The lamellar body (LB) of the alveolar type II (ATII) cell is a lysosome-related organelle
(LRO) that contains surfactant, a complex mix of mainly lipids and specific surfactant …

The presence of secretory vesicles (synaptic-like microvesicles or SLMVs) in astrocytes
capable of fine-tuning synaptic transmission, has been a topic of debate in the field. While …

Endo-and exocytosis proceed through a highly strained membrane fusion pore topology
regardless of the aiding protein machinery. The membrane's lipid components bias fusion …

Abstract Phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate (PI (4, 5) P2) is the most abundant
membrane phosphoinositide and cholesterol is an essential component of the plasma …

Membrane lipids and proteins form dynamic domains crucial for physiological and
pathophysiological processes, including viral infection. Many plasma membrane proteins …

Regulated exocytosis, a universal process of eukaryotic cells, involves the merging between
the vesicle membrane and the plasma membrane, plays a key role in cell-to-cell …
