Abstract: Local curvatures on the cell membrane serve as signaling hubs that promote curvature-dependent protein interactions and modulate a variety of cellular processes including endocytosis, exocytosis, and the actin cytoskeleton. However, precisely controlling the location and… read more here.

Abstract: Membrane curvatures are involved in essential cellular processes, such as endocytosis and exocytosis, in which they are believed to act as microdomains for protein interactions and intracellular signaling. These membrane curvatures appear and disappear dynamically,… read more here.
