Cell, 2010 Membrane budding is a key step in vesicular transport, multivesicular body biogenesis, and enveloped virus release. These events range from those that are primarily protein driven, such as the formation of coated vesicles, to those that are primarily lipid driven, such as microdomain-dependent biogenesis of multivesicular bodies. Other types of budding

Membrane Heterogeneity Beyond the Plasma Membrane [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 The structure and organization of cellular membranes have received intense interest, particularly in investigations of the raft hypothesis. The vast majority of these investigations have focused on the plasma membrane of mammalian cells, yielding significant progress in understanding membrane heterogeneity in terms of lipid composition, molecular ...

Physical Review Letters, 2014 We present a general dynamical theory of a membrane coupled to an actin cortex containing polymerizing filaments with active stresses and currents, and demonstrate that active membrane dynamics [Phys. Rev. Lett \textbf{84}, 3494 (2000)] and spontaneous shape oscillations emerge from this description. We also consider membrane instabilities and patterns

Scalable fabrication of bijel films via continuous flow slit-coating [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Nanocomposite membranes are an emerging filtration material in the production of clean water. Recently, the fabrication of porous nanocomposite membranes via solvent transfer induced phase separation (STrIPS) was introduced. During STrIPS, the phase separation of two immiscible liquids is arrested by the attachment of nanoparticles at the liquid-liquid

Counterion density profiles at charged flexible membranes [PDF]
, 2004 Counterion distributions at charged soft membranes are studied using perturbative analytical and simulation methods in both weak coupling (mean-field or Poisson-Boltzmann) and strong coupling limits. The softer the membrane, the more smeared out the counterion density profile becomes and counterions pentrate through the mean-membrane surface location ...

Coupling solar‐driven interfacial evaporation with forward osmosis for continuous water treatment
Exploration, 2022 Forward osmosis (FO) driven by osmotic pressure difference has great potential in water treatment. However, it remains a challenge to maintain a steady water flux at continuous operation. Herein, a FO and photothermal evaporation (PE) coupling system (FO‐

Lateral phase separation of confined membranes [PDF]
, 2010 We consider membranes interacting via short, intermediate and long stickers. The effects of the intermediate stickers on the lateral phase separation of the membranes are studied via mean-field approximation. The critical potential depth of the stickers increases in the presence of the intermediate sticker.

Transport of particles through RO membrane in steady state condition [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Reverse Osmosis(RO) membranes are widespread nowadays for separating the solvent from a solution. RO membranes are made of polymer matrix. Experiments show changes in relative interaction of solvent and solute with RO membrane matrix lead to changes in solvent permeation, solute rejection and fouling.

The Atg1–kinase complex tethers Atg9-vesicles to initiate autophagy
Nature Communications, 2016 Autophagosome biogenesis is initiated by recruitment of Atg9-vesicles to the phagophore assembly site. Here Rao et al. use a reconstituted in vitrosystem to describe the mechanism by which activation of the Atg1-kinase complex from its constituent parts ...
