It has long been appreciated that the Gram-negative outer membrane acts as a permeability
barrier, but recent studies have uncovered a more expansive and versatile role for the outer …

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 …

β Barrel outer membrane proteins (OMPs) cluster into supramolecular assemblies that give
function to the outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria. How such assemblies form …

The Martini model, a coarse-grained force field for biomolecular simulations, has found a
broad range of applications since its release a decade ago. Based on a building block …

Piezo-actuated stages have become more and more promising in nanopositioning
applications due to the excellent advantages of the fast response time, large mechanical …

Multicellular organisms are composed of diverse cell types that must coordinate their
behaviors through communication. Cell–cell communication (CCC) is essential for growth …

ESCRT-III is required for lipid membrane remodeling in many cellular processes, from
abscission to viral budding and multi-vesicular body biogenesis. However, how ESCRT-III …

Particle tracking is of key importance for quantitative analysis of intracellular dynamic
processes from time-lapse microscopy image data. Because manually detecting and …

β-Barrel outer membrane proteins (OMPs) represent the major proteinaceous component of
the outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria. These proteins perform key roles in …
