Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are compounds, which have inhibitory activity against
microorganisms. In the last decades, AMPs have become powerful alternative agents that …

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 …

Compounds with a nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) skeleton exhibit prominent useful properties
including environmental sensitivity, high reactivity toward amines and biothiols (including …

Membrane curvature is an important parameter in defining the morphology of cells,
organelles and local membrane subdomains. Transport intermediates have simpler shapes …

Lipid composition determines organelle identity; however, whether the lipid composition of
the inner nuclear membrane (INM) domain of the ER contributes to its identity is not known …

Intracellular α-synuclein deposits, known as Lewy bodies, have been linked to a range of
neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson's disease. α-Synuclein binds to synthetic …

The majority of therapeutics target membrane proteins, accessible on the surface of cells, to
alter cellular signaling. Cells use membrane proteins to transduce signals into cells …

Immune cells have intensely physical lifestyles characterized by structural plasticity and
force exertion. To investigate whether specific immune functions require stereotyped …

Visualization of the nanoscale organization of cell membranes remains challenging
because of the lack of appropriate fluorescent probes. Herein, we introduce a new design …

The network of proteins that orchestrate the distribution of cholesterol among cellular
organelles is not fully characterized. We previously proposed that oxysterol‐binding protein …
