A LRRK2-Dependent EndophilinA Phosphoswitch Is Critical for Macroautophagy at Presynaptic Terminals. [PDF]
Synapses are often far from the soma and independently cope with proteopathic stress induced by intense neuronal activity. However, how presynaptic compartments turn over proteins is poorly understood.

Non-equilibrium fluctuations in GUVs driven by light [PDF]
From more than one century ago to nowadays one of the main challenges in neurobiology is the understanding the basis of memory. The locus that was discovered to be the storage of memories in the mammalian brain, where the synapses are built on, are ...

Phase Transition Induced Fission in Lipid Vesicles [PDF]
In this work we demonstrate how the first order phase transition in giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) can function as a trigger for membrane fission. When driven through their gel-fluid phase transition GUVs exhibit budding or pearl formation. These buds

Leishmania Promastigotes Lack Phosphatidylserine but Bind Annexin V upon Permeabilization or Miltefosine Treatment [PDF]
The protozoan parasite Leishmania is an intracellular pathogen infecting and replicating inside vertebrate host macrophages. A recent model suggests that promastigote and amastigote forms of the parasite mimic mammalian apoptotic cells by exposing ...

Lipid membranes for the fabrication of functional micro- and nano-structures [PDF]
The central goal of this thesis work is to fabricate novel, functional fluorescent nanostructures in confined systems offered by phospholipid membranes, which are known to have highly ordered, thermotropic and lyotropic structures. In separate approaches,

A Spider Leg‐Inspired mm‐Scale Soft Exoskeleton Enabled by Liquid via Hydration and Charge Transport
Natural organisms feature an unrivaled intertwining between structure and function via the bodily integration of multiple phases, multifunctional materials and architected elements. Learning from this, this study unveils a spider‐leg‐inspired artificial embodiment where the internal electrolyte simultaneously enables compliance conditioning via ...
