This study shows that ionic strength and ionization affect membrane-tethered polymer conformation, which influences membrane curvature generation through changes in brush thickness and grafting density.

This study designs intrinsically disordered ligands that control receptor uptake via endocytosis by modulating their sequence to promote or hinder internalization.

This study shows that protein condensates and clathrin assembly regulate each other during clathrin-mediated endocytosis, enhancing vesicle formation while controlling condensate growth.
