Combined thermodynamic and time-resolved structural analysis of interactions between AP2 and biomimetic plasma membranes provides insights into clathrin-mediated endocytosis

This study uses biophysical methods to analyze AP2 interactions with biomimetic membranes, revealing insights into clathrin-mediated endocytosis mechanisms.

Multipad Agarose Plate (MAP): A Rapid and High-Throughput Approach for Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing

The paper introduces a high-throughput antibiotic susceptibility testing method using a Multipad Agarose Plate that reduces turnaround time by eightfold.

Surface crosslinking of virus-like particles increases resistance to proteases, low pH and mechanical stress for mucosal applications

This study enhances the stability of virus-like particles (VLPs) against environmental stressors by surface crosslinking, without affecting their vaccine function.

Assessing motile cilia coverage and beat frequency in mammalian in-vitro cell culture tissues

This paper introduces an automated method to assess cilia coverage and beat frequency in mammalian in vitro cell cultures using video microscopy.

Diurnal variations in the motility of algal populations

This paper uses tracking microscopy to show that Chlamydomonas reinhardtii swims faster at night, links this to flagellar ATP regulation, and predicts population-level changes in vertical distribution.

Synchronization of mammalian motile cilia in the brain with hydrodynamic forces

The paper shows that hydrodynamic forces between cilia in brain cells can synchronize their beating, with fewer cilia per cell being more responsive to external flows.

A How-To guide to: Quantitative high-speed video profiling to discriminate between variants of primary ciliary dyskinesia

This paper provides a guide to analyzing ciliary beating waveforms using high-speed video microscopy to distinguish between PCD variants and healthy samples.

Phenotyping ciliary dynamics and coordination in response to CFTR-modulators in Cystic Fibrosis respiratory epithelial cells

A novel multi-DDM method detects changes in ciliary beat frequency and coordination in CF airway cells under different treatments and drug conditions.
