Nanoparticles are promising vehicles for the precise delivery of molecular therapies to
diseased sites. Nanoparticles interact with a series of tissues and cells before they reach …

One of the major challenges of bottom-up synthetic biology is rebuilding a minimal cell
division machinery. From a reconstitution perspective, the animal cell division apparatus is …

With the rapid development of the global industrialization process, as an important energy
and strategic resource, petroleum is widely used in various fields. Meanwhile, the leakage of …

One ubiquitous cellular structure for performing various tasks, such as spreading and
migration over external surfaces, is the sheet-like protrusion called a lamellipodium, which …

Eukaryotic cells intrinsically change their shape, by changing the composition of their
membrane and by restructuring their underlying cytoskeleton. We present here further …

Understanding and manipulating the interactions between foreign bodies and cell
membranes during endo-and phagocytosis is of paramount importance, not only for the fate …

Biological membranes are dynamic heterogeneous materials, and their shape and
organization are tightly coupled to the properties of the proteins in and around them …

Biological pattern formation is essential for generating and maintaining spatial structures
from the scale of a single cell to tissues and even collections of organisms. Besides …

Embryonic development is a precise and complex process involving the cell morphology
and mechanics interacting in space and time. The difficulty in quantitatively acquiring …

Entry of micro-or nanosized objects into cells or vesicles made of lipid membranes occurs in
many processes such as entry of viruses into host cells, microplastics pollution, drug …
