Alkyl anchor–modified artificial viral capsid budding outside-to-inside and inside-to-outside giant vesicles

open access: yesScience and Technology of Advanced Materials
The budding of human immunodeficiency virus from an infected host cell is induced by the modification of structural proteins bearing long-chain fatty acids, followed by their anchoring to the cell membrane. Although many model budding systems using giant

Viruses budding from either the apical or the basolateral plasma membrane domain of MDCK cells have unique phospholipid compositions [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
Influenza virus and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) obtain their lipid envelope by budding through the plasma membrane of infected cells. When monolayers of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, a polarized epithelial cell line, are infected with fowl

Cellular Responses to Mechanical Cues Across Scales: From Fundamental Insights to Translational Potential

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...

Molecular mechanics underlying flat-to-round membrane budding in live secretory cells

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Shin et al. report the molecular mechanics of membrane budding: actin and dynamin pull membrane inward to form a Λ-shape profile; dynamin helices convert Λ- to Ω-shape by constricting Λ’s base, and then constrict Ω-profile’s pore to form a vesicle.

The Taste of Monosodium Glutamate: Membrane Receptors in Taste Buds [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Neuroscience, 1996
Receptor proteins for photoreception have been studied for several decades. More recently, putative receptors for olfaction have been isolated and characterized. In contrast, no receptors for taste have been identified yet by molecular cloning. This report describes experiments aimed at identifying a receptor responsible for the taste of monosodium ...

Dimerization of Matrix Protein Is Required for Budding of Respiratory Syncytial Virus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infects epithelial cells of the respiratory tract and is a major cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in children and the elderly.

How is Nanoarchitectonics Shaping Extracellular Vesicle Research?

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The convergence of nanoarchitectonics and extracellular vesicle biology is reshaping next‐generation nanomedicine by enabling rationally designed nanostructures for enhanced EVs detection, engineering, and therapy. ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have gained recognition as crucial mediators of cell‐to‐cell communication, holding immense potential

Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Us3 Deletion Mutant is Infective Despite Impaired Capsid Translocation to the Cytoplasm

open access: yesViruses, 2015
Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) capsids are assembled in the nucleus bud at the inner nuclear membrane into the perinuclear space, acquiring envelope and tegument. In theory, these virions are de-enveloped by fusion of the envelope with the outer nuclear

Studies on interactions of exported "plasmodium falciparum" membrane proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Responsible for about 700’000 annual deaths worldwide, malaria today is still one of the major health problems in developing countries. The most deadly form of human malaria called malaria tropica is caused by the apicomplexan parasite Plasmodium ...

From Cell‐Derived Vesicles to Hybrid Nanovectors: Biological Membranes as Functional Blueprints for Gene Delivery

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Biologically derived and hybrid nonviral nanovectors are examined as distinct but convergent design approaches. Integrating synthetic components with biologically functionalized membranes allows efficient interactions with complex cellular environments.
