Published in 2019 at "Comprehensive Physiology"

DOI: 10.1002/cphy.c180020

Abstract: Vascular endothelial cells (ECs) form a semiselective barrier for macromolecules and cell elements regulated by dynamic interactions between cytoskeletal elements and cell adhesion complexes. ECs also participate in many other vital processes including innate immune… read more here.

Published in 2024 at "Peptide Science"

DOI: 10.1002/pep2.24365

Abstract: The folding of peptides and proteins is rigidly reliant on the ‘chemical information’ carried by the specific amino acid sequence. In this study, three polypeptides (PDBs: 2jof, 1res and 1prv) were investigated as model systems… read more here.

Published in 2017 at "Cell reports"

DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2017.08.013

Abstract: Clathrin/adaptor protein-1-coated carriers connect the secretory and the endocytic pathways. Carrier biogenesis relies on distinct protein networks changing membrane shape at the trans-Golgi network, each regulating coat assembly, F-actin-based mechanical forces, or the biophysical properties… read more here.
