Cell membranes contain a large variety of lipid types and are crowded with proteins,
endowing them with the plasticity needed to fulfill their key roles in cell functioning. The …

This review focuses on nonlytic outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), a subtype of bacterial
extracellular vesicles (BEVs) produced by Gram-negative organisms focusing on the …

Biological membranes are tricky to investigate. They are complex in terms of molecular
composition and structure, functional over a wide range of time scales, and characterized by …

The biomolecule is among the most important building blocks of biological systems, and a
full understanding of its function forms the scaffold for describing the mechanisms of higher …

Brownian motion and viscoelastic anomalous diffusion in homogeneous environments are
intrinsically Gaussian processes. In a growing number of systems, however, non-Gaussian …

Structural biology is currently undergoing a transformation into dynamic structural biology,
which reveals the dynamic structure of proteins during their functional activity to better …

Septins are GTP-binding proteins involved in diverse cellular processes including division
and membrane remodeling. Septins form linear, palindromic heteromeric complexes that …

Proteins are essential and abundant components of cellular membranes. Being densely
packed within the limited surface area, proteins fulfil essential tasks for life, which include …

The passive and active motion of micron-sized tracer particles in crowded liquids and inside
living biological cells is ubiquitously characterised by'viscoelastic'anomalous diffusion, in …
