Extracellular vesicles (EVs) hold great promise as therapeutic modalities due to their
endogenous characteristics, however, further bioengineering refinement is required to …

Biomembrane order, dynamics, and other essential physicochemical parameters are
controlled by cholesterol, a major component of mammalian cell membranes. Although …

The proliferation of life on earth is based on the ability of single cells to divide into two
daughter cells. During cell division, the plasma membrane undergoes a series of …

The physical properties of lipid bilayers are sensitive to the specific type and composition of
the lipids that make up the many different types of cell membranes. Studying model bilayers …

All cells are encapsulated by a lipid membrane that facilitates their interactions with the
environment. How cells manage diverse mixtures of lipids, which dictate membrane property …

The integrity of cellular membranes is critical for the functionality of axons. Failure of the
axonal membranes (plasma membrane and/or myelin sheath) can be the origin of …

Concepts of solid-state NMR spectroscopy and applications to fluid membranes are
reviewed in this paper. Membrane lipids with 2H-labeled acyl chains or polar head groups …

With the rapid development of computer power and wide availability of modelling software
computer simulations of realistic models of lipid membranes, including their interactions with …

The SARS-CoV-2 envelope (E) protein is a viroporin associated with the acute respiratory
symptoms of COVID-19. E forms cation-selective ion channels that assemble in the lipid …

It is crucial for molecular dynamics simulations of biomembranes that the force field
parameters give a realistic model of the membrane behavior. In this study, we examined the …
