Microfluidic characterization of biomimetic membrane mechanics with an on-chip micropipette

Micro and Nano Engineering, 2020
The mechanic properties of cell membranes control many biological processes. The complexity of natural membranes is often dealt with by building synthetic vesicles (Giant Unilamellar Vesicles, GUVs), which can be thought as micron-sized minimal cells ...

Coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation of binary charged lipid membranes: Phase separation and morphological dynamics

, 2016
Biomembranes, which are mainly composed of neutral and charged lipids, exhibit a large variety of functional structures and dynamics. Here, we report a coarse-grained molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of the phase separation and morphological dynamics ...

Volume and porosity thermal regulation in lipid mesophases by coupling mobile ligands to soft membranes [PDF]

, 2015
Short DNA linkers are increasingly being exploited for driving specific self-assembly of Brownian objects. DNA-functionalised colloids can assemble into ordered or amorphous materials with tailored morphology. Recently, the same approach has been applied

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.

Microfluidic Giant Polymer Vesicles Equipped with Biopores for High‐Throughput Screening of Bacteria

Advanced Science
Understanding the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance is critical for the development of new therapeutics. Traditional methods for testing bacteria are often limited in their efficiency and reusability.

Quantification of pulsed electric field for the rupture of giant vesicles with various surface charges, cholesterols and osmotic pressures.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Electropermeabilization is a promising phenomenon that occurs when pulsed electric field with high frequency is applied to cells/vesicles. We quantify the required values of pulsed electric fields for the rupture of cell-sized giant unilamellar vesicles (

Domain formation in membranes with quenched protein obstacles: Lateral heterogeneity and the connection to universality classes

, 2010
We show that lateral fluidity in membranes containing quenched protein obstacles belongs to the universality class of the two-dimensional random-field Ising model.

Insights into the interaction of the N-terminal amyloidogenic polypeptide of ApoA-I with model cellular membranes [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: About twenty variants of apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) are associated to hereditary systemic amyloidoses. Although the molecular bases of this disease are still largely unknown, it has been hypothesized that ApoA-I proteolysis is a key ...

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 ...
