Two forms of Opa1 cooperate to complete fusion of the mitochondrial inner-membrane
eLife, 2020 Mitochondrial membrane dynamics is a cellular rheostat that relates metabolic function and organelle morphology. Using an in vitro reconstitution system, we describe a mechanism for how mitochondrial inner-membrane fusion is regulated by the ratio of two

Cell-cell fusion: To lose one life and begin another. [PDF]
BioessaysCell death and cell fusion pathways share many common hallmarks. Abstract As life extended into eukaryota, a great host of strategies emerged in the pursuit of cellular life. Some cells have been successful in solitude, some moved into cooperatives (i.e., multicellular organisms), but one additional strategy emerged.

Adhesion and hemifusion of cytoplasmic myelin lipid membranes are highly dependent on the lipid composition [PDF]
, 2012 We report the effects of calcium ions on the adhesion and hemifusion mechanisms of model supported myelin lipid bilayer membranes of differing lipid composition. As in our previous studies Min et al. [1,2], the lipid compositions used mimic "healthy&

Transient pores in hemifusion diaphragms
Biophysical JournalExchange of material across two membranes, as in the case of synaptic neurotransmitter release from a vesicle, involves the formation and poration of a hemifusion diaphragm (HD). The nontrivial geometry of the HD leads to environment-dependent control, regarding the stability and dynamics of the pores required for this kind of exocytosis.

rBPI(21) promotes lipopolysaccharide aggregation and exerts its antimicrobial effects by (hemi)fusion of PG-containing membranes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are important potential alternatives to conventional therapies against bacterial infections. rBPI(21) is a 21 kDa peptide based on the N-terminal region of the neutrophil bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI ...

Single-cell glycolytic activity regulates membrane tension and HIV-1 fusion.
PLoS Pathogens, 2020 There has been resurgence in determining the role of host metabolism in viral infection yet deciphering how the metabolic state of single cells affects viral entry and fusion remains unknown. Here, we have developed a novel assay multiplexing genetically-

Asymmetric Lipid Transfer between Zwitterionic Vesicles by Nanoviscosity Measurements
Nanomaterials, 2021 The interest in nano-sized lipid vesicles in nano-biotechnology relies on their use as mimics for endosomes, exosomes, and nanocarriers for drug delivery.

Small, Volume 22, Issue 40, 17 July 2026.SAFE (Sonication‐Assisted liposome Fusion with EVs) is a rapid, mix‐and‐read assay that directly detects extracellular vesicle–encapsulated miRNAs from unprocessed plasma. By delivering molecular beacons into EVs via sonication‐driven liposome fusion, the method enables intravesicular hybridization with minimal background, providing quantitative ...
