Abstract: Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) acting at membrane contact sites (MCS) between the ER and other organelles contain domains involved in heterotypic (e.g., ER to Golgi) membrane tethering as well as domains involved in lipid transfer.… read more here.

Abstract: Using fluorescence microscopy and single-particle tracking, we have directly observed the dynamics of λ-DNA trapped inside poly(acrylamide-co-acrylate) hydrogels under an externally applied electric field. Congruent with the recent discovery of the nondiffusive topologically frustrated dynamical… read more here.
