In the drug delivery field, there is beyond doubt that the shape of micro-and nanoparticles
(M&NPs) critically affects their biological fate. Herein, following an introduction describing …

Particulate matter (PM), which is the primary contributor to air pollution, has become a
pervasive global health threat. When PM enters into a respiratory tract, the first body tissues …

It is commonly accepted that nanoparticles (NPs) can kill bacteria; however, the mechanism
of antimicrobial action remains obscure for large NPs that cannot translocate the bacterial …

Recent studies have shown that the interactions between condensates and biological
membranes are of functional importance. Here, we study how the interaction between …

The importance of curvature as a structural feature of biological membranes has been
recognized for many years and has fascinated scientists from a wide range of different …

In recent years, there has been a heightened interest in the self-assembly of nanoparticles
(NPs) that is mediated by their adsorption onto lipid membranes. The interplay between the …

Cellular engulfment and uptake of macromolecular assemblies or nanoparticles via
endocytosis can be associated to both healthy and disease-related biological processes as …

BAK and BAX are essential mediators of apoptosis that oligomerize in response to death
cues, thereby causing permeabilization of the mitochondrial outer membrane. Their …

Abstract Systems with interfaces are abundant in both technological applications and
biology. While a fluid interface separates two fluids, membranes separate the inside of …

The transport of particles across lipid-bilayer membranes is important for biological cells to
exchange information and material with their environment. Large particles often get wrapped …
