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 ...

Nanoclustering as a dominant feature of plasma membrane organization [PDF]
, 2014 Early studies have revealed that some mammalian plasma membrane proteins exist in small nanoclusters. The advent of super-resolution microscopy has corroborated and extended this picture, and led to the suggestion that many, if not most, membrane ...

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.

Human hepatic cell behavior on polysulfone membrane with double porosity level [PDF]
, 2013 In the membrane-based bioartificial livers developed up to now,the hepatic cells were located either in the fibers lumen or in the cartridge,with limited capacity for cell hosting.Here,we designed a polysulfone (PSU) membrane with a double porosity ...

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.
