Forces in Mechanics, 2021 Single strand DNA-wrapped Single-walled carbon nanotubes (ssDNA-SWCNTs) have critical biomedical applications such as drug delivery, bio-imaging and bio-sensing; therefore, the mechanical interaction between ssDNA-SWCNTs and lipid membranes is an ...

Scaling relationships for the elastic moduli and viscosity of mixed lipid membranes
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance Life requires a delicate balance between cell membrane rigidity and fluidity to define cell boundaries yet enable cell deformation, growth, and division. Here, we bridge the molecular and macroscopic scales with neutron scattering techniques

Asymmetric Lipid Membranes under Shear Flows: A Dissipative Particle Dynamics Study
Membranes, 2021 We investigate the phase behavior of the asymmetric lipid membranes under shear flows, using the dissipative particle dynamics simulation. Two cases, the weak and strong shear flows, are considered for the asymmetric lipid microstructures.

Imaging lipid domains in cell membranes: the advent of super-resolution fluorescence microscopy
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 The lipid bilayer of model membranes, liposomes reconstituted from cell lipids, and plasma membrane vesicles and spheres can separate into two distinct liquid phases to yield lipid domains with liquid-ordered and liquid-disordered properties.

Irreversible thermodynamics of curved lipid membranes. [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2017 The theory of irreversible thermodynamics for arbitrarily curved lipid membranes is presented here. The coupling between elastic bending and irreversible processes such as intramembrane lipid flow, intramembrane phase transitions, and protein binding and

FEBS Letters, 1974 Today, as in 1964, those who are concerned with membranes are broadly divided into two main groups: investigators who work on lipids and others who study proteins. Whether one pursues mainly this aspect or that is often more the result of individual interest and background rather than the outcome of a decision that one particular aspect of membranes is

A possible molecular mechanism for mechanotransduction at cellular focal adhesion complexes
Biophysical Reports, 2021 Mechanotransduction at focal adhesion complexes is key for various cellular events. Theoretical analyses were performed to predict a potential role of lipid membranes in modulating mechanotransduction at focal adhesions.

Plasma membranes are asymmetric in lipid unsaturation, packing, and protein shape
Nature Chemical Biology, 2020 A fundamental feature of cellular plasma membranes (PMs) is an asymmetric lipid distribution between the bilayer leaflets. However, neither the detailed, comprehensive compositions of individual PM leaflets nor how these contribute to structural membrane
