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

open access: yesMicrobiology 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 ...

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

open access: yesMalaria 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).

Electroporation of cell membranes [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical 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.

Nanoscale chemical imaging of human cell membrane using Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy

open access: yes, 2022
The lack of an appropriate tool for visualizing cell membrane molecules at the nanoscale in a non-invasive and label free fashion limits our understanding of many vital cellular processes. Herein, we demonstrate that tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS)
