Mechanisms shaping cell membranes
Membranes of intracellular organelles are characterized by large curvatures with radii of the
order of 10–30 nm. While, generally, membrane curvature can be a consequence of any …

Friction mediates scission of tubular membranes scaffolded by BAR proteins
Membrane scission is essential for intracellular trafficking. While BAR domain proteins such
as endophilin have been reported in dynamin-independent scission of tubular membrane …

Building endocytic pits without clathrin
How endocytic pits are built in clathrin-and caveolin-independent endocytosis still remains
poorly understood. Recent insight suggests that different forms of clathrin-independent …

Stochastic mechano-chemical kinetics of molecular motors: a multidisciplinary enterprise from a physicist's perspective
D Chowdhury - Physics Reports, 2013 - Elsevier
A molecular motor is made of either a single macromolecule or a macromolecular complex.
Just like their macroscopic counterparts, molecular motors “transduce” input energy into …

Phospholipid membranes as chemically and functionally tunable materials
The sheet‐like lipid bilayer is the fundamental structural component of all cell membranes.
Its building blocks are phospholipids and cholesterol. Their amphiphilic structure …

Curvature‐induced sorting of lipids in plasma membrane tethers
Membrane curvature controls the spatial organization and activity of cells. Lipid sorting in
cell membranes can be explained by matching lipid molecular shape to regions of different …

PI(3,4)P2-mediated membrane tubulation promotes integrin trafficking and invasive cell migration
Z Feng, C Yu - Proceedings of the National Academy of …, 2021 - National Acad Sciences
Invadopodia are integrin-mediated adhesions with abundant PI (3, 4) P2. However, the
functional role of PI (3, 4) P2 in adhesion signaling remains unclear. Here, we find that the PI …
