The development of atomic force microscopy (AFM) has opened up a wide range of novel
opportunities in nanoscience and new modalities of observation in complex biological …

Small-molecule self-assembly is an established route for producing high-surface-area
nanostructures with readily customizable chemistries and precise molecular organization …

RIPK1, RIPK3, ZBP1 and TRIF, the four mammalian proteins harboring RIP homotypic
