Dynamics of Vesicle Formation from Lipid Droplet: Mechanism and Controllability
, 2009 A coarse-grained model developed by Marrink et al. [J. Phys. Chem. B 111, 7812 (2007)] is applied to investigate vesiculation of lipid [dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC)] droplets in water.

Lateral migration of a 2D vesicle in unbounded Poiseuille flow [PDF]
, 2007 The migration of a suspended vesicle in an unbounded Poiseuille flow is investigated numerically in the low Reynolds number limit. We consider the situation without viscosity contrast between the interior of the vesicle and the exterior.

Functionalization of OMVs for Biocatalytic Applications
Membranes, 2023 Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are miniature versions of gram-negative bacteria that contain almost the same content as their parent cells, particularly in terms of membrane composition.

Accurate determination of elastic parameters for multi-component membranes [PDF]
, 2007 Heterogeneities in the cell membrane due to coexisting lipid phases have been conjectured to play a major functional role in cell signaling and membrane trafficking.

Morphological Diversity in Diblock Copolymer Solutions: A Molecular Dynamics Study
Colloids and Interfaces, 2023 Coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations that incorporate explicit water-mediated hydrophilic/hydrophobic interactions are employed to track spatiotemporal evolution of diblock copolymer aggregation in initially homogeneous solutions.

A transient solution for vesicle electrodeformation and relaxation
, 2012 A transient analysis for vesicle deformation under DC electric fields is developed. The theory extends from a droplet model, with the additional consideration of a lipid membrane separating two fluids of arbitrary properties.

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

Effective adhesion strength of specifically bound vesicles
, 2005 A theoretical approach has been undertaken in order to model the thermodynamic equilibrium of a vesicle adhering to a flat substrate. The vesicle is treated in a canonical description with a fixed number of sites.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.
