Abstract: The killing power of membrane-active antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) lies in their ability to disrupt the structures of pathogenic membranes. While understanding the AMPs' mechanisms of action is key to realizing their therapeutic potentials, how the… read more here.

Abstract: Biomembranes exhibit liquid and solid features concomitantly with their in-plane fluidity and elasticity tightly regulated by cells. Here, we present experimental evidence supporting the existence of the dynamics-elasticity correlations for lipid membranes and propose a… read more here.
