The paper describes a DNA origami-based biosensor that detects lipid vesicles through smFRET and enables targeted cargo transfer to vesicles.

This study investigates how lipid membranes reorganize structurally at the nanoscale under varying hydration conditions, revealing reversible changes in lipid phase behavior and physical properties.

This study develops photoswitchable sphingolipids to control lipid raft microdomains in model membranes using light-induced isomerization.

The paper develops DNA origami-based voltage sensors with single-molecule sensitivity, showing a 5% FRET change for 100 mV transmembrane potential shifts.

This study shows that a hydration layer of 6-7 water molecules controls lipid mobility in biomimetic membranes, with significant effects on diffusion and activation energy.
