Exploring the dynamics of a single vesicle induced by Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles using micropipette manipulation. [PDF]
PLoS ONEMagnetite nanoparticles (MNPs, Fe3O4) have gained substantial interest for different biomedical and biochemical applications. Therefore, it is important to understand the mechanism of interaction between MNPs and cell membranes.

The impact of sphingomyelin and cholesterol on ordered lipid domain formation in the bovine milk fat globule membrane using artificial giant unilamellar vesicles as a model [PDF]
JDS CommunicationsGiant unilamellar vesicle (GUV) bilayers were constructed from polar lipids and cholesterol by electroformation as a model system to investigate the formation of ordered lipid domains (OLD) within the milk fat globule membrane (MFGM).

Structural determinants of the scorpion venom peptide Uy234 govern bactericidal activity and membrane-disruptive properties [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyIntroductionThe growth-inhibiting effect of the peptide Uy234, present in the venom of the scorpion Urodacus yaschenkoi, has been investigated in two bacterial pathogens: Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Acinetobacter baumannii AE12, the latter being

Whole-GUV patch-clamping [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016 Significance Although membrane composition and tension modulate the activity of ion channels and transporters, this protein–membrane coupling has been challenging to study due to the difficulty of controlling membrane properties in cells and technical limitations of existing in vitro systems. This work demonstrates that the whole-cell

GUV-Net for high fidelity shoeprint generation [PDF]
Complex & Intelligent Systems, 2021 AbstractShoeprints contain valuable information for tracing evidence in forensic scenes, and they need to be generated into cleaned, sharp, and high-fidelity images. Most of the acquired shoeprints are found with low quality and/or in distorted forms. The high-fidelity shoeprint generation is of great significance in forensic science.

Model of SNARE-mediated membrane adhesion kinetics. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 SNARE proteins are conserved components of the core fusion machinery driving diverse membrane adhesion and fusion processes in the cell. In many cases micron-sized membranes adhere over large areas before fusion. Reconstituted in vitro assays have helped
