Plants require water and several essential nutrients for their development. The radial
transport of nutrients from the soil to the root vasculature is achieved through a combination …

Proton translocation through lipid membranes is a fundamental process in the field of
biology. Several theoretical models have been developed and presented over the years to …

The kinetics of molecular transportation through lipid membranes are key information for
understanding many biophysical processes in real cells or protocells. Second harmonic …

Cell-sized giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are an ideal tool for understanding lipid
membrane structure and properties. Label-free spatiotemporal images of their membrane …

Lipid bilayers are supramolecular structures responsible for a range of processes, such as
transmembrane transport of ions and solutes, and sorting and replication of genetic …

Subtle variations in the structure and composition of lipid membranes can have a profound
impact on their transport of functional molecules and relevant cell functions. Here, we …
