This paper introduces DNA nanorings to dynamically control membrane tension in sub-100 nm liposomes, enabling controlled mechanical stress and molecular cargo release.

This study investigates the structure and function of human Xkr4, showing it scrambles lipids and adopts a novel conformation that promotes membrane thinning, essential for phosphatidylserine externalization.

This paper introduces a platform for high-throughput extraction of membrane proteins into native nanodiscs while preserving their local membrane context and provides a database for optimized extraction conditions.

The paper reconstitutes core synaptic machinery to reveal DAG's role in vesicle priming and Ca2+-triggered release, showing DAG accelerates SNAREpin assembly and affects release dynamics.
