Dimensions, stability, and deformability of DOPC-cholesterol giant unilamellar vesicles formed by droplet transfer [version 2; peer review: 1 approved, 3 approved with reservations]

Open Research Europe
Background Understanding cell membrane-like lipid bilayers is crucial for studying fundamental biological mechanisms. Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUVs) are key tools for this investigation and have applications in both synthetic biology and, more ...

The Lectin LecA Sensitizes the Human Stretch-Activated Channel TREK-1 but Not Piezo1 and Binds Selectively to Cardiac Non-myocytes

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
The healthy heart adapts continuously to a complex set of dynamically changing mechanical conditions. The mechanical environment is altered by, and contributes to, multiple cardiac diseases.

Radiative and mechanical feedback into the molecular gas in the Large Magellanic Cloud. I. N159W [PDF]

, 2016
We present Herschel SPIRE Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) observations of N159W, an active star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). In our observations, a number of far-infrared cooling lines including CO(4-3) to CO(12-11), [CI] 609 ...

Biomimetic Iridescent Skin: Robust Prototissues Spontaneously Assembled from Photonic Protocells

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 26, 30 March 2026.
Uniform nanoparticles are induced to form arrays (photonic crystals) in the cores of biopolymer capsules, endowing these ‘protocells’ with structural color. These protocells are then assembled into large self‐standing objects, i.e., prototissues, with robust mechanical properties as well as iridescent optical properties.

Relationship between oligoarginine-induced membrane damage of single Escherichia coli cells and entry of the peptide into the cytoplasm

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports
Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) can enter the cytosol of eukaryotic cells without killing them whereas some CPPs exhibit antimicrobial activity against bacterial cells.

Constraints on RG Flows from Holographic Entanglement Entropy

, 2013
We examine the RG flow of a candidate c-function, extracted from the holographic entanglement entropy of a strip-shaped region, for theories with broken Lorentz invariance.

TBK1 Induces the Formation of Optineurin Filaments That Condensate with Polyubiquitin and LC3 for Cargo Sequestration

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.
Phosphorylation of Optineurin by TBK1 induces the formation of filaments that condensate upon binding to linear polyubiquitin. Membrane‐anchored LC3 partitions into these condensates, suggesting that phase separation of filamentous Optineurin with ubiquitylated cargo promotes the sequestration of cargo and its subsequent alignment with LC3‐positive ...

The Wilsonian Renormalization Group in Randall-Sundrum 1

, 2004
We find renormalization group transformations for the compactified Randall-Sundrum scenario by integrating out an infinitesimal slice of ultraviolet degrees of freedom near the Planck brane.
