Phosphatidylethanolamine is the major inner-membrane lipid in the plasma and
mitochondrial membranes. It is synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum from ethanolamine …

The interferon-induced transmembrane (IFITM) proteins broadly inhibit the entry of diverse
pathogenic viruses, including Influenza A virus (IAV), Zika virus, HIV-1, and SARS …

The stiffness of biological membranes determines the work required by cellular machinery to
form and dismantle vesicles and other lipidic shapes. Model membrane stiffness can be …

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 …

The bending modulus of a lipid bilayer quantifies its mechanical resistance to curvature. It is
typically understood in terms of thickness; eg, thicker bilayers are usually stiffer. Here, we …

Studies on the interaction between cells and micromanipulation tools are necessary to
optimize the procedures and improve the developmental potential of cells. The molecular …

Model bilayers are constructed from lipids having different intrinsic curvatures using the
droplet interface bilayer (DIB) method, and their static physicochemical properties are …

Biological membranes separate living cells from their surroundings, and, in case of
eukaryotes, partition the cell into its constituent organelles. These bilayer structures, which …

Over the last few decades, the spatial organization of biomembranes has received a lot of
attention. With the fluid mosaic model, Singer and Nicolson proposed that biomembranes …

In the past few decades, society has faced rapid development and spreading of
antimicrobial resistance due to antibiotic misuse and overuse and the immense adaptability …
