Effect of Fragarin on the Cytoplasmic Membrane of the Phytopathogen Clavibacter michiganensis

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2001
Fragarin, an antibiotic that was isolated and purified from a soluble fraction of strawberry leaves, may be a new type of preformed antimicrobial compound (phytoanticipin).

Engineering Biomimetic Nanoparticle Performance Through Fabrication Method Selection: Turbulent Jet Mixing, Microfluidics, and Extrusion

Small Methods, EarlyView.
Biomimetic nanoparticles (BNPs) combine liposomal biocompatibility with cell‐mimicking functions for targeted delivery. This study compares turbulent jet mixing, microfluidic mixing, and extrusion for BNP fabrication. Characterization, proteomics, and in vitro assays show that turbulent jet and microfluidic mixing produce stable, protein‐enriched ...

Triply Responsive Control of Ion Transport with an Artificial Channel Creates a Switchable AND to OR Logic Gate

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 2, 9 January 2026.
We report a triply responsive artificial ion channel, showing tuneable activity, and responsive to three distinct stimuli ‐ light, pH, and ligand – which we use to formulate an AND to OR switchable molecular logic gate. Abstract Ion channels are ubiquitous in Nature, performing complex and essential tasks in our bodies. Synthetic chemists have begun to

Binding of Bacillus subtilis dynamin‐like protein DynA to the bacterial membrane is essential for effective phage defense

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The bacterial dynamin‐like protein DynA from Bacillus subtilis plays a key role in phage defense. It binds the plasma membrane through a unique paddle domain in its D1 subunit. This membrane association is essential for its protective function, likely preventing explosive membrane rupture following phage infection.

Bidirectional Interaction Between Liposomal Amphotericin B Pharmacokinetics and Parasite Dynamics in Patients With Post‐Kala‐Azar Dermal Leishmaniasis: Potential Implications for Optimal Dosing

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 119, Issue 2, Page 437-446, February 2026.
Post‐kala‐azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL) involves a high macrophage burden in which the Leishmania parasites reside. Liposomal amphotericin B (LAmB) plays a key role in the treatment of PKDL. The mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS) is crucial in the distribution of liposomal drugs as well as the leishmaniasis pathophysiology.

Resilient Membranized Coacervates Formed through Spontaneous Wrapping of Heat‐Destabilized Lipid Bilayers around Coacervate Droplets

Advanced Science
Membranes and the membraneless biocondensates help organize cells and work synergistically to drive cellular processes. Separately, membrane‐bound and membraneless compartments face difficulties as stable protocells or synthetic cell systems.

Describing neutron spin echo data from undulating lipid vesicles: recent advances

Journal of Applied Crystallography, Volume 59, Issue 1, Page 152-162, February 2026.
We present results and practical considerations for the analysis of neutron spin echo data from vesicles with undulating membranes using a framework that was recently published [Granek et al. (2024). Eur. Phys. J. E47, 12]. We show the importance of vesicle diffusion, size, lamellarity and osmotic pressure as well as the effects of membrane viscosity ...
