Decades of nanotoxicology research have generated extensive and diverse data sets.
However, data is not equal to information. The question is how to extract critical information …

Recent advances in nanotechnology have made a whole zoo of particles of different shapes
available for applications, but their interaction with biological cells and their toxicity is often …

Many cellular processes rely on precise and timely deformation of the cell membrane. While
many proteins participate in membrane resha** and scission, usually in highly specialized …

With the rapid development of nanotechnology, nanoparticles have been widely used in
many applications such as phototherapy, cell imaging, and drug/gene delivery. A better …

Eukaryotic cells are densely packed with macromolecular complexes and intertwining
organelles, continually transported and reshaped. Intriguingly, organelles avoid clashing …

How nanoparticles interact with biomembranes is central for understanding their bioactivity.
Biomembranes wrap around nanoparticles if the adhesive interaction between the …

The adhesion and engulfment of nanoparticles by biomembranes is essential for many
processes such as biomedical imaging, drug delivery, nanotoxicity, and viral infection. Many …

Abstract Proteins containing a Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain regulate membrane
curvature in the cell. Recent simulations have revealed that BAR proteins assemble into …

Adhesion and insertion of curvature-mediating proteins can induce dramatic structural
changes in cell membranes, allowing them to participate in several key cellular tasks. The …
