Chemical potential measurements constrain models of cholesterol-phosphatidylcholine interactions

T. R. Shaw, K. Wisser, T. A. Schaffner, A. Gaffney, B. Machta, S. L. Veatch

The paper measures cholesterol chemical potential in lipid membranes and finds it varies significantly with phospholipid composition, suggesting cholesterol availability can be modulated without changing its concentration.

Rapid propagation of membrane tension at a presynaptic terminal

C. Gomis Perez, N. R. Dudzinski, M. Rouches, B. Machta, D. Zenisek, E. Karatekin

The paper shows membrane tension propagates rapidly in neuronal terminals but not in chromaffin cells, affecting exo-endocytosis coupling.

The Bacterial Cytoskeleton Spatially Confines Functional Membrane Microdomains

R. M. Wagner, S. U. Setru, B. Machta, N. S. Wingreen, D. Lopez

This study shows that bacterial membrane microdomains are spatially confined by the MreB cytoskeleton and cell wall, not lipids, and this mechanism is conserved across prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
