A fusion peptide in the spike protein of MERS coronavirus [PDF]

, 2019
Coronaviruses represent current and emerging threats for many species, including humans. Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is responsible for sporadic infections in mostly Middle Eastern countries, with occasional transfer ...

CMOS‐Compatible HfOx‐Based Radiation Hardening Component for Neuromorphic Computing Applications

Advanced Electronic Materials, Volume 11, Issue 9, June 2025.
HfOx‐based resistive random‐access‐memory (TiN/Ti/HfOx/RuOx/TiN) is fabricated by CMOS‐compatible materials – ruthenium, with a maskless etching‐free process. After a 5‐Mrad total ionizing dose test, the results showed non‐degradation performance, memory window ≈ 40 with operation power < 2 mW, > 8k endurance cycles, and 15‐year retention, which can be

Law of corresponding states for osmotic swelling of vesicles

, 2012
As solute molecules permeate into a vesicle due to a concentration difference across its membrane, the vesicle swells through osmosis. The swelling can be divided into two stages: (a) an "ironing" stage, where the volume-to-area ratio of the vesicle ...

Dynamical membrane curvature instability controlled by intermonolayer friction [PDF]

, 2011
International audienceWe study a dynamical curvature instability caused by a local chemical modification of a phospholipid membrane. In our experiments, a basic solution is microinjected close to a giant unilamellar vesicle, which induces a local ...

Distinct Network Morphologies from In Situ Polymerization of Microtubules in Giant Polymer‐Lipid Hybrid Vesicles

Advanced Biology, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2025.
The successful in situ polymerization of microtubules in giant polymer‐lipid hybrid vesicles is illustrated. The microtubules formed in the giant hybrid vesicles exhibit different morphologies including lumenal network formation and membrane association. Abstract Creating artificial cells with a dynamic cytoskeleton, akin to those in living cells, is a

Efficiency of size-dependent particle separation by pinched flow fractionation

, 2012
Pinched flow fractionation is shown to be an efficient and selective way to quickly separate particles by size in a very polydisperse semi-concentrated suspension. In an effort to optimize the method, we discuss the quantitative influence of the pinching

Hydrophobic gating of mechanosensitive channel of large conductance evidenced by single-subunit resolution [PDF]

, 2012
Mechanosensitive (MS) ion channels are membrane proteins that detect and respond to membrane tension in all branches of life. In bacteria, MS channels prevent cells from lysing upon sudden hypoosmotic shock by opening and releasing solutes and water ...

Micrometer‐Sized Liposome‐Based Systems: A Hierarchical Breakdown

ChemSystemsChem, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2025.
Micrometer‐sized liposomes (MSLs) are gaining attention for various applications, from biophysical cell models to molecular robots. Despite their growing importance, reviews on MSLs across disciplines are scarce. This review fills the gap by providing a systematic overview of MSL design, from applications to functionalization and to formation, aimed at
