The large GTP ase dynamin is the first protein shown to catalyze membrane fission.
Dynamin and its related proteins are essential to many cell functions, from endocytosis to …

ABSTRACT A key event in the evolution of eukaryotic cells was the engulfment of an aerobic
bacterium by a larger anaerobic archaebacterium, leading to a close relationship between …

The quantification of membrane-associated biomolecular interactions is crucial to our
understanding of various cellular processes. State-of-the-art single-molecule approaches …

ESCRT-III is required for lipid membrane remodeling in many cellular processes, from
abscission to viral budding and multi-vesicular body biogenesis. However, how ESCRT-III …

Abstract Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) is essential for mitochondrial and peroxisomal
fission. Recent studies propose that Drp1 does not sever but rather constricts mitochondrial …

The importance of curvature as a structural feature of biological membranes has been
recognized for many years and has fascinated scientists from a wide range of different …

Phagocytosis is a specialized process that enables cellular ingestion and clearance of
microbes, dead cells and tissue debris that are too large for other endocytic routes. As such …

We present an approach for preparing cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) grids to study
short-lived molecular states. Using piezoelectric dispensing, two independent streams of …

Eukaryotic cells face the challenging task of transporting a variety of particles through the
complex intracellular milieu in order to deliver, distribute, and mix the many components that …

Emergence of SARS‐CoV‐2 variants warrants sustainable efforts to upgrade both the
diagnostic and therapeutic protocols. Understanding the details of cellular and molecular …
