The intracellular delivery of proteins is of great significance. For diseases such as cancer,
heart disease and neurodegenerative diseases, many important pharmacological targets …

Arginine-rich cell-penetrating peptides do not enter cells by directly passing through a lipid
membrane; they instead passively enter vesicles and live cells by inducing membrane …

Biological membranes, composed mainly of phospholipids and cholesterol, play a vital role
as cellular barriers. They undergo localized reshaping in response to environmental cues …

Cells store energy in the form of neutral lipids (NLs) packaged into micrometer-sized
organelles named lipid droplets (LDs). These structures emerge from the endoplasmic …

A distributed circuit approach is used to simulate the development of electric potentials
across a cell membrane and the resulting poration dynamics for∼ 700 ns duration voltage …

Vesicles enriched in certain negatively charged lipids, such as phosphatidylserine and PIP2,
are known to undergo fusion in the presence of calcium ions without assistance from protein …

Simulations of lipid membranes typically make use of periodic boundary conditions to mimic
macroscopically sized membranes and allow for comparison to experiments performed eg …

The effect of cholesterol on the bending modulus of DOPC lipid bilayers has become a
controversial topic that has implications for methods of measuring the bending modulus …

Lipid nanodiscs are small synthetic lipid bilayer structures that are stabilized in solution by
special circumscribing (or scaffolding) proteins or polymers. Because they create native-like …

Recent studies indicate that there are mechanical differences between normal cells and
cancer cells. Because the cell membrane takes part in a variety of vital processes, we test …
