Researchers from the Göttingen Cluster of Excellence Multiscale Bioimaging (MBExC) have uncovered the 3D structure of the ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are transmitted between nerve cells using molecular containers called vesicles. Now, ...

The membrane is a composite of multiple layers: 1) a soft polydimethylsiloxane layer for transfer printing; 2) a lead zirconate titanate (PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3) layer for actuation; 3) metal layers for ...

Lipid membranes, which form the outer layer of cells, can be engineered to influence cellular functions. For example, ...

The nanoconfinement was found to be limited to the 1.5 μm-thick γ-alumina supporting layer at maximum, and the resulting hybrid PI/ceramic membranes showed stable performance in a variety of solvents.

However, nanosecond MD simulation studies could not observe any escape events; recent findings even suggested that the long-range motion in phospholipid membranes on short time scales is not diffusive ...
