At subsecond time-scales and micron length-scales, cells behave as fluid-filled sponges in which shape changes necessitate intracellular fluid redistribution. However, whether these cytoplasmic ...

Fluid polymeric biomimetic membranes are probed with atomic force microscopy (AFM) using probes with both normal tetrahedrally shaped tips and nanoneedle-shaped Ag 2 Ga rods. When using nanoneedle ...

We describe a silicon chip-based supported bilayer system to detect the presence of ion channels and their electrical conductance in lipid bilayers. Nanopores were produced in microfabricated silicon ...

Bacteria can precisely adjust their membrane lipid compositions to control the biophysical properties of their membranes, which allows them to thrive in various physical environments. Here ...

This important study presents a compelling theoretical framework for understanding phase separation of membrane-bound proteins, with a focus on the organization of tight junction components. By ...

Acute myocarditis—sudden inflammation of the heart—causes mild symptoms in most cases, but about 10% of acute myocarditis ...

近红外二区（nir-ii，1000–1700 nm）荧光成像凭借出色的组织穿透性、低散射以及弱自体荧光等优势，成为生物医学成像领域的重要技术手段。然而 ...
