Cell-Membrane-Mimicking Nanodecoys against Infectious Diseases

ACS Nano, 2020
Infectious diseases are a leading cause of mortality worldwide, with viruses and bacteria in particular having enormous impacts on global healthcare. One major challenge in combatting such diseases is a lack of effective drugs or specific treatments.

In vitro fusion of single synaptic and dense core vesicles reproduces key physiological properties

Nature Communications, 2019
Regulated exocytosis of neuronal synaptic vesicles is substantially faster than that of endocrine dense core vesicles despite similar molecular machineries.

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 ...

Plasma membrane integrity in health and disease: significance and therapeutic potential

Cell Discovery, 2021
Maintenance of plasma membrane integrity is essential for normal cell viability and function. Thus, robust membrane repair mechanisms have evolved to counteract the eminent threat of a torn plasma membrane.

Rab35 GTPase couples cell division with initiation of epithelial apico-basal polarity and lumen opening

Nature Communications, 2016
Establishment and maintenance of apico-basal polarity in epithelial organs needs to be tightly coupled with cell division. Here the authors show that the Rab35 GTPase tethers intracellular vesicles containing key apical determinants at the cleavage site,

Mechanics and regulation of cytokinetic abscission

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Cytokinetic abscission leads to the physical cut of the intercellular bridge (ICB) connecting the daughter cells and concludes cell division. In different animal cells, it is well established that the ESCRT-III machinery is responsible for the ...

A model of membrane contraction predicting initiation and completion of bacterial cell division [PDF]

, 2013
Bacterial cell division involves a complex and dynamic sequence of events whereby polymers of the protein FtsZ assemble at the division plane and rearrange to achieve the goal of contracting the cell membrane at the site of cell division, thus dividing ...
