Dramatic morphological changes in liposomes induced by peptide nanofibers reversibly polymerized and depolymerized by the photoisomerization of spiropyran

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023
Cytoskeletons such as microtubules and actin filaments are natural protein assemblies, which dynamically control cellular morphology by reversible polymerization/depolymerization.

Observations and modeling of the dust emission from the H_2-bright galaxy-wide shock in Stephan's Quintet [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Context. Spitzer Space Telescope observations have detected powerful mid-infrared (mid-IR) H_2 rotational line emission from the X-ray emitting large-scale shock (~15 × 35 kpc^2) associated with a galaxy collision in Stephan's Quintet (SQ).

Effects of a Pulse Electric Field on Electrofusion of Giant Unilamellar Vesicle (GUV)-Jurkat Cell

open access: yesJournal of Thermal Science and Technology, 2012
Here we describe a new method to deliver membrane impermeable cryo-/lyo-protective agents (CPAs) into the cytosol of living cells via their electrofusion with Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUVs) containing large amounts of CPAs.

Block Copolymer Giant Unilamellar Vesicles for High-Throughput Screening

open access: yesCHIMIA, 2022
Bottom-up synthetic cells offer the potential to study cellular processes with reduced complexity. Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) can mimic cells in their morphological characteristics because their architecture is precisely controllable.

Influenza A matrix protein M1 induces lipid membrane deformation via protein multimerization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The matrix protein M1 of the Influenza A virus (IAV) is supposed to mediate viral assembly and budding at the plasma membrane (PM) of infected cells. In order for a new viral particle to form, the PM lipid bilayer has to bend into a vesicle toward the ...

Temperature-Promoted Giant Unilamellar Vesicle (GUV) Aggregation: A Way of Multicellular Formation

open access: yesCurrent Issues in Molecular Biology, 2023
The evolution of unicellular to multicellular life is considered to be an important step in the origin of life, and it is crucial to study the influence of environmental factors on this process through cell models in the laboratory.

On-chip inverted emulsion method for fast giant vesicle production, handling, and analysis

open access: yes, 2020
Liposomes and giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) in particular are excellent compartments for constructing artificial cells. Traditionally, their use requires bench-top vesicle growth, followed by experimentation under a microscope.

Specific Adhesion of Membranes Simultaneously Supports Dual Heterogeneities in Lipids and Proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Membrane adhesion is a vital component of many biological processes. Heterogeneities in lipid and protein composition are often associated with the adhesion site. These heterogeneities are thought to play functional roles in facilitating signalling. Here

How universe evolves with cosmological and gravitational constants

open access: yesNuclear Physics B, 2015
With a basic varying space–time cutoff ℓ˜, we study a regularized and quantized Einstein–Cartan gravitational field theory and its domains of ultraviolet-unstable fixed point gir≳0 and ultraviolet-stable fixed point guv≈4/3 of the gravitational gauge ...
