High-Resolution Plasma Membrane-Selective Imaging by Second Harmonic Generation
iScience, 2018 Summary: The plasma membrane is the site of intercellular communication and subsequent intracellular signal transduction. The specific visualization of the plasma membrane in living cells, however, is difficult using fluorescence-based techniques owing ...

Plasma membrane integrity: implications for health and disease
BMC Biology, 2021 Plasma membrane integrity is essential for cellular homeostasis. In vivo, cells experience plasma membrane damage from a multitude of stressors in the extra- and intra-cellular environment.

Distribution of cortical endoplasmic reticulum determines positioning of endocytic events in yeast plasma membrane. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In many eukaryotes, a significant part of the plasma membrane is closely associated with the dynamic meshwork of cortical endoplasmic reticulum (cortical ER).

In vivo analysis of protein crowding within the nuclear pore complex in interphase and mitosis
Scientific Reports, 2017 The central channel of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) is occupied by non-structured polypeptides with a high content of Phe-Gly (FG) motifs. This protein-rich environment functions as an entropic barrier that prevents the passage of molecules, as well as

Lectin-based food poisoning: a new mechanism of protein toxicity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 BACKGROUND: Ingestion of the lectins present in certain improperly cooked vegetables can result in acute GI tract distress, but the mechanism of toxicity is unknown.

Flow arrest in the plasma membrane [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2019 Abstract The arrangement of receptors in the plasma membrane strongly affects the ability of a cell to sense its environment both in terms of sensitivity and in terms of spatial resolution. The spatial and temporal arrangement of the receptors is affected in turn by the mechanical properties and the structure of the cell membrane.
