This study shows lysenin pores induce membrane curvature into rigid dome-like structures, suggesting beta-PFTs alter host cell membranes beyond pore formation.

This study investigates the role of Bud3 and Bud4 in organizing septin structures during cytokinesis in budding yeast, showing they form distinct filaments and cooperate to create higher-order networks.

This paper develops wafer-scale epitaxial alpha-quartz thin films for high-frequency piezoelectric bioNEMS to detect arboviruses with high sensitivity and low detection limits.

This study investigates how septins organize membranes through self-assembly and identifies key domains involved in membrane remodeling and curvature sensing in yeast.

This study quantifies the mechanical properties of free-standing lipid membranes on nano-porous mica substrates, revealing differences in bending modulus and lipid ordering at pore edges.

ProLIF quantitatively measures integrin-protein interactions in proteoliposomes using flow cytometry, enabling analysis of membrane effects on protein recruitment.
