This review reconsiders the amyloid cascade by placing lipid dynamics at its core. It shows that free lipids, governed by critical micellar concentration, act as pathological chaperones that redirect amyloid aggregation toward membrane‐damaging species.

Visualization and analysis of apolipoprotein A-I interaction with binary phospholipid bilayers
Apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) interaction with specific cell lipid domains was suggested to trigger cholesterol and phospholipid efflux. We analyzed here apoA-I interaction with dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine/distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC/DSPC ...

Bioconjugation Strategies for Revealing the Roles of Glycerophospholipids in Cells
Glycerophospholipids are the main class of phospholipids, essential for membrane structure, compartmentalization, and cellular signaling. To study their roles, innovative probes and advanced bioconjugation strategies have been developed, including by de novo lipid synthesis and bioorthogonal conjugation chemistry.

Es werde Licht! Licht als Antrieb und Regulator in synthetischen Zellen
Zellen sind Systeme außerhalb des Gleichgewichts, die ihre Eigenschaften in Raum und Zeit regulieren. In biomimetischen synthetischen Zellen bietet Licht eine einzigartige Möglichkeit, Vorgänge räumlich und zeitlich anzutreiben und zu kontrollieren.

Let There be Light! Light as an Engine and Regulator in Synthetic Cells
Cells are out‐of‐equilibrium systems that regulate their spatiotemporal features. In biomimetic synthetic cells, light offers a unique way for energizing and regulating events in space and time. This review explores the implementation of light‐responsive tools in synthetic cells to replicate biological functions and enable new bioinspired behaviors ...

Lipid Lateral Organization on Giant Unilamellar Vesicles Containing Lipopolysaccharides [PDF]
We developed a new (to our knowledge) protocol to generate giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) composed of mixtures of single lipopolysaccharide (LPS) species and Escherichia coli polar lipid extracts. Four different LPSs that differed in the size of the polar headgroup (i.e., LPS smooth > LPS-Ra > LPS-Rc > LPS-Rd) were selected to generate GUVs composed

Studying Macromolecular Composition in Cell–Cell Interfaces Using 3D Membrane Reconstitution Systems
A comprehensive understanding of the interactions between proteins, lipids and glycocalyx components at the immune synapse is still lacking. Here, an artificial and a semi‐artificial model contact system were established to reconstitute the cell‐cell contact in 3D. The model systems enable the examination of macromolecule enrichment or depletion at the
