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 ...

Reproducible reformation of a bilayer lipid membrane using microair bubbles
Droplet, 2023 Planar bilayer lipid membranes (BLMs) are widely used as models for cell membranes in various applications, including drug discovery and biosensors. However, the nanometer‐thick bilayer structure, assembled through hydrophobic interactions of amphiphilic

Cell membranes resist flow [PDF]
Cell, 2018 SUMMARYThe fluid-mosaic model posits a liquid-like plasma membrane, which can flow in response to tension gradients. It is widely assumed that membrane flow transmits local changes in membrane tension across the cell in milliseconds. This conjectured signaling mechanism has been invoked to explain how cells coordinate changes in shape, motility, and ...

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.

RNAi screening reveals a large signaling network controlling the Golgi apparatus in human cells
Molecular Systems Biology, 2012 The Golgi apparatus has many important physiological functions, including sorting of secretory cargo and biosynthesis of complex glycans. These functions depend on the intricate and compartmentalized organization of the Golgi apparatus.

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.
