Recent Advances in the Molecular Mechanisms of Bacterial Anti‐Phage Defence Systems

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
Panoptes as an example for an antiphage system consists of OptS producing a cyclic dinucleotide that prevents activation of OptE, a transmembrane protein. Phage T4 infection introduces the sponge protein Acb2 that adsorbs the cyclic dinucleotide thus activating OptE which disrupts the cell membrane aborting phage infection.

Composite branched and linear F-actin maximize myosin-induced membrane shape changes in a biomimetic cell model

open access: yesCommunications Biology
The architecture of the actin cortex determines the generation and transmission of stresses, during key events from cell division to migration. However, its impact on myosin-induced cell shape changes remains unclear.

Light‐Activated Communication Between Synthetic and Living Cells via Photoresponsive Membranes

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 14, 29 July 2026.
Light‐triggered membrane rupture of SCs enables controlled release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and histamine, which activate purinergic and histaminergic signaling in HeLa cells, leading to intracellular Ca2+ mobilization. This biomimetic communication platform provides a simple strategy for engineering remotely controlled chemical signaling ...

Detachment of giant liposomes – coupling of receptor mobility and membrane shape

open access: yesSoft Matter, 2020
We combine detachment experiments of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) and membrane coated glass beads with theoretical considerations to study the impact of receptor mobility of adhesive glycolipids.

Dual‐Responsive Dynamic Covalent Bond‐Based Assembly of Lipid‐Nanozyme Systems via Multi‐Target Synergy and Efficient Target Enrichment for Ischemic Stroke Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 37, 3 July 2026.
This system adopts a biomimetic phospholipid structure, covalently binding iNOS inhibitors, neuroprotective agent PCA and vitamin E derivatives through pH/ROS dual‐responsive bonds, and assembles them with Prussian blue nanozyme to form PBB@AHA. It can efficiently penetrate the blood‐brain barrier and simultaneously release multiple active components ...

A Cationic Supramolecule With Potent Antifungal Activity, Single‐Species Selectivity, and Strong Synergy With Echinocandins

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 41, 22 July 2026.
We introduce a new membrane‐active antifungal design, Gua‐SMACS‐16, that exhibits high potency and single‐species selectivity for C. tropicalis while sparing other close species in the Candida genus. Moreover, when combining with caspofungin, a clinical antifungal drug inhibiting 1,3‐β‐glucan synthase, they exhibit ultra‐strong synergy across a panel ...

Unique thermal behavior of sphingomyelin species with nonhydroxy and 2-hydroxy very-long-chain (C28-C32) PUFAs

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2013
In rat germ cells and spermatozoa, sphingomyelin (SM) contains molecular species with nonhydroxy (n) and 2-hydroxy (h) very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (V), the most abundant being SMs with (n- and h-) 28:4n-6, 30:5n-6, and 32:5n-6 as acyl ...
