A collaborative team of four professors and several graduate students from the Departments of Chemistry and Biochemical Science and Technology at National Taiwan University, together with the ...

Lipid membranes are self-assembled bilayers composed primarily of amphipathic lipids such as phospholipids, cholesterol and glycolipids. These structures form the fundamental barrier and functional ...

Using catalytic chemistry, researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have achieved dynamic control of artificial membranes, enabling life-like membrane behavior. The work is published in the Journal ...

Cellular membranes are dynamic interfaces whose mechanical properties have emerged as central regulators of fundamental processes such as migration, morphogenesis and signal transduction. Membrane ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...
