A novel in vitro system of supported planar endosomal membranes (SPEMs) reveals an enhancing role for cathepsin B in the final stage of Ebola virus fusion and entry

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Ebola virus (EBOV) causes a hemorrhagic fever with fatality rates up to 90%. The EBOV entry process is complex and incompletely understood. Following attachment to host cells, EBOV is trafficked to late endosomes/lysosomes where its glycoprotein (GP) is ...

The State of the Art in Fuel Cell Condition Monitoring and Maintenance [PDF]

, 2010
Fuel cell vehicles are considered to be a viable solution to problems such as carbon emissions and fuel shortages for road transport. Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cells are mainly used in this purpose because they can run at low temperatures and ...

Hydrophilic nanoparticles that kill bacteria while sparing mammalian cells reveal the antibiotic role of nanostructures

Nature Communications, 2022
Developing antibacterial agents which don’t have cytotoxic effects against mammalian cells is of interest for biomedical applications. Here, the authors explore how attaching inert polymer brushes to different sized nanoparticles can result in toxicity ...

Determining a critical threshold for G6PD activity below which red blood cell response to oxidative stress is poor

Malaria Journal, 2020
Background Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common enzyme disorder in the world. Its main function is to generate NADPH that is required for anti-oxidative pathway in the cells especially in red blood cells (RBC).

IDEAL-Cell, a High Temperature Innovative Dual mEmbrAne Fuel-Cell [PDF]

, 2009
IDEAL-Cell is a new concept of a high temperature fuel cell operating in the range 600-700°C. It is based on the junction between the anode part of a PCFC and the cathode part of a SOFC through a mixed H+ and O2- conducting porous ceramic membrane.

Electroporation of cell membranes [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 1989
Electric pulses of intensity in kilovolts per centimeter and of duration in microseconds to milliseconds cause a temporary loss of the semipermeability of cell membranes, thus leading to ion leakage, escape of metabolites, and increased uptake by cells of drugs, molecular probes, and DNA.

Efficient Lipid Bilayer Formation by Dipping Lipid-Loaded Microperforated Sheet in Aqueous Solution

Micromachines, 2021
This paper describes a method for a bilayer lipid membrane (BLM) formation using a perforated sheet along with an open chamber. Microscopic observation of the formed membrane showed a typical droplet interface bilayer.
