This study identifies tailocins as a mechanism for intraspecies competition in bee gut symbionts, showing they inhibit susceptible strains and contribute to priority effects.

This study investigates how ionizable lipids alter endosomal membrane properties to enhance endosomal escape, showing they reduce membrane rigidity and curvature.

This study uses molecular dynamics simulations to show that cholesteryl esters increase lipid droplet rigidity and monolayer organization in liver cancer.

This paper develops an in vivo method to label and target red blood cells with azido groups, enabling long-term cargo delivery and improved imaging.

The paper introduces a fusogenicity metric using small angle X-ray scattering to quantify lipid nanoparticle fusion capabilities and validates it with experimental assays.

The paper examines pulmonary surfactant membranes in bottlenose dolphins, linking their structure and lipid composition to lung injury severity and mechanical properties.
