Identification and Characterization of an In Silico Designed Membrane‐Active Peptide with Antiviral Properties

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.
An evolutionary molecular dynamics platform is used to design P1.6, a membrane‐active peptide that senses lipid packing defects in viral envelopes. P1.6 adopts a stabilized α‐helical structure upon membrane contact, disrupts virus‐like liposomes, and damages HIV‐1 particles.

Surfactant-free production of biomimetic giant unilamellar vesicles using PDMS-based microfluidics

Communications Chemistry, 2021
The production of giant unilamellar vesicles by microfluidics commonly involves additives, which may interfere with the resultant membrane properties. Here pure lipid GUVs are prepared which exclude residual surfactants and other additives.

Wireless Bioelectronic Modulation of Membrane Potential in Glioblastoma Using Carbon Nanotube Porins

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.
A schematic illustrating glioblastoma cell membrane modulation using carbon nanotube porins (CNTPs) and an applied voltage. CNTPs enable ion flux leading to changes in membrane potential. This figure summarizes the concept of bioelectronic control of cell membrane voltage.

Interaction of high density lipoprotein particles with membranes containing cholesterol

Journal of Lipid Research, 2007
In this study, free cholesterol (FC) efflux mediated by human HDL was investigated using fluorescence methodologies. The accessibility of FC to HDL may depend on whether it is located in regions rich in unsaturated phospholipids or in domains containing ...

Solvent‐Mediated Dewetting Principles for Cell‐Sized Liposome Formation

Small, Volume 22, Issue 18, 25 March 2026.
Dynamics of solvent‐mediated dewetting for giant unilamellar liposome formation. Solvent removal, through changing lipid packing and membrane tension, is shown to induce partial dewetting into equilibrium low and high budding angle morphologies. Complete dewetting requires mechanical force, quantified using optical tweezers.

Mechanism of membrane tube formation induced by adhesive nanocomponents

, 2012
We report numerical simulations of membrane tubulation driven by large colloidal particles. Using Monte Carlo simulations we study how the process depends on particle size, concentration and binding strength, and present accurate free energy calculations

Synthetic Cells on Demand: From Molecular Stimuli to Cellular Functions

ChemSystemsChem, Volume 8, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Synthetic cells constructed via bottom‐up approaches using lipid or polymer vesicles have become essential tools for mimicking cellular functions and studying synthetic biological systems. These vesicles can undergo morphological changes and trigger internal reactions in response to external stimuli, such as osmotic pressure, temperature, pH ...
