This important study characterizes the mechanics and stability of bolalipids from archaeal membranes using molecular dynamics simulations. A mesoscale model of bolalipids is presented and evaluated ...

Surfaces of particular interest in neurodegenerative diseases are cellular and subcellular membranes that are predominately comprised of lipid components. The two-dimensional liquid environments ...

For example, the endocytic machinery has to generate sufficient force to bend the membrane bilayer and form an endocytic vesicle. If the resistance of the plasma membrane — the load — is ...

Nature ion channels play significant role in the living organisms, which can translocate physiological relevant ions across ...

This work presents a membrane-targeted azobenzene (MT) as light-responsive tool for cell stimulation. MT photoisomerization ...

allowing them self-organize in aqueous environments to form lipid bilayers. Each lipid class however, also has a unique role in membrane structure and function. Phospholipids account for the majority ...

A new discovery from an international collaborative research team has solved the mystery of how cells turn on their recycling process and create "garbage bags" to remove proteins. Cells have ...
