Biological membranes are two-dimensional mixtures of an enormous number of different components. Modeling cell membranes as simple bilayer mixtures reveals rich phase behavior, but how can we use ...

Scientists at the University of Stuttgart have succeeded in controlling the structure and function of biological membranes with the help of 'DNA origami'. It will help in facilitating the ...

This can be problematic because, unlike a quickly expanding balloon, biological membranes are more limited in their elasticity and do not allow over-stretching. How then does the tonoplast ...

These membranes are made up of lipid bilayers that enclose an aqueous compartment and serve as simplified models of biological membranes. They are useful for studying membrane dynamics ...

The fatty membrane surrounding every living cell is a vibrant environment where countless biological processes take place. This membrane protects the cell from its surroundings and divides it into ...

The research team acknowledges the great potential of the HS-iFM technique for studying a wide variety of biological samples and organisms, including E. coli. “In the [future], we will use our ...
