We have used a model system to explore the importance of long-range lateral diffusion of membrane proteins in specific membrane-membrane adhesion. Single, cell-size phospholipid vesicles containing a ...

The initiation of directional cell motion requires symmetry breaking that can happen with or without external stimuli. During cell crawling, forces generated by the cytoskeleton and their transmission ...

A recent study published in Small explores a new method to improve the stability of graphene membranes in transmembrane nanofluidic devices. Researchers applied a pyrene-based coating to strengthen ...

The fight against cancer often begins with uncovering hidden players, and a recent study reveals one such key player: an ...
