Abstract: Fusion between giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) can incorporate and mix components of biochemical reactions. Recently, GUV fusion induced by freeze‐thawing (F/T) was employed to construct artificial cells that can easily and repeatedly fuse GUVs with… read more here.

Abstract: Across the cell cycle, mitochondrial dynamics are regulated by a cycling wave of actin polymerization/depolymerization. In metaphase, this wave induces actin comet tails on mitochondria that propel these organelles to drive spatial mixing, resulting in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1515/chem-2019-0004
Abstract: Abstract A full membrane fusion model which attains both complete lipid mixing and content mixing liposomal membranes mediated by coiled-coil forming lipopeptides LPK [L-PEG12-(KIAALKE)3] and LPE [L-PEG12-(EIAALEK)3] is presented. The electrostatic effects of lipid anchored… read more here.
