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

Cell‐cell communication is critical to the development, maintenance, and function of
multicellular organisms. Classical mechanisms for intercellular communication include …

Endocytosis is a ubiquitous eukaryotic membrane budding, vesiculation and internalization
process fulfilling numerous roles including compensation of membrane area increase after …

Cells are wrapped in inelastic membranes, yet they can sustain large mechanical strains by
regulating their area. The area regulation in cells is achieved either by membrane folding or …

The ability to understand and control molecular transport is critical to numerous chemical
measurement strategies, especially as they apply to mass-limited samples in nanometer …

We study the thermophoretic motion of water nanodroplets confined inside carbon
nanotubes using molecular dynamics simulations. We find that the nanodroplets move in the …

Electrohydrodynamic drying (EHDD) is an energy-efficient and non-thermal technique for
dehydrating heat-sensitive biological materials, like fruits, vegetables, or medicinal plants …

In this study, we investigated the effects of membrane cholesterol content on the mechanical
properties of cell membranes by using optical tweezers. We pulled membrane tethers from …

We describe micromanipulation and microinjection procedures for the fabrication of soft-
matter networks consisting of lipid bilayer nanotubes and surface-immobilized vesicles …

Neurons communicate via an essential process called exocytosis. Cholesterol, an abundant
lipid in both secretory vesicles and cell plasma membrane can affect this process. In this …
