Fluorescent flippers have been introduced as small‐molecule probes to image membrane
tension in living systems. This study describes the design, synthesis, spectroscopic and …

Thiol-mediated uptake (TMU) is thought to occur through dynamic covalent cascade
exchange networks. Here we show that the cascade accounting for TMU of asparagusic acid …

A milestone in optical imaging of mechanical forces in cells has been the development of the
family of flipper fluorescent probes able to report membrane tension noninvasively in living …

When developing fluorescent membrane probes, we naturally tend to focus on the
fluorophore itself. In this study, we show that sometimes it can be beneficial to shift attention …

Tension propagates in lipid bilayers over hundreds of microns within milliseconds,
precluding the formation of tension gradients. Nevertheless, plasma membrane tension …
