Instant Membrane Stabilization by Damage-Triggered Actin Polymerization in Giant Unilamellar Vesicles. [PDF]
ChembiochemDamage‐triggered actin polymerization stabilizes membrane pores in giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs). Membrane poration drives divalent cation influx, inducing rapid F‐actin assembly at the defect site. The resulting actin plug mechanically arrests pore expansion and preserves vesicle morphology, recapitulating the “plugging” phase of single‐cell ...

Studying macromolecular composition in cell-cell interfaces using 3D membrane reconstitution systems
Advanced Science, EarlyView.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

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

Membrane Tubulation with a Biomembrane Force Probe
Membranes, 2023 Tubulation is a common cellular process involving the formation of membrane tubes ranging from 50 nm to 1 µm in diameter. These tubes facilitate intercompartmental connections, material transport within cells and content exchange between cells.
