[HTML][HTML] Cells respond to mechanical stress by rapid disassembly of caveolae
The functions of caveolae, the characteristic plasma membrane invaginations, remain
debated. Their abundance in cells experiencing mechanical stress led us to investigate their …

A sub-nanometre view of how membrane curvature and composition modulate lipid packing and protein recruitment
Two parameters of biological membranes, curvature and lipid composition, direct the
recruitment of many peripheral proteins to cellular organelles. Although these traits are often …
