Artificial Water Channels-towards Biomimetic Membranes for Desalination.
Chemistry, 2020 Natural Aquaporin (AQP) channels are efficiently water translocating proteins, rejecting ions. Inspired by this masterpiece of nature, Artificial Water Channels (AWCs) with controlled functional structures, can be potentially used to mimic the AQPs to a ...

Establishment of an Artificial Tick Feeding System to Study Theileria lestoquardi Infection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The establishment of good experimental models for Theileria sp. infection is important for theileriosis research. Routinely, infection of ticks is accomplished by feeding on parasite-infected animals (sheep, cows and horses), which raises practical and ...

Curvature variation controls particle aggregation on fluid vesicles [PDF]
Soft Matter 13, 4924-4930 (2017), 2017 Cellular membranes exhibit a large variety of shapes, strongly coupled to their function. Many biological processes involve dynamic reshaping of membranes, usually mediated by proteins. This interaction works both ways: while proteins influence the membrane shape, the membrane shape affects the interactions between the proteins. To study these membrane-
