We present the first observations of giant, long-existing, stabilized pores in vesicle
membranes. Using a new experimental technique for studying the electropermeabilization of …

We developed an RNA-sequencing-based pipeline to discover differentially expressed cell-
surface molecules in neuroblastoma that meet criteria for optimal immunotherapeutic target …

The simplest model for a neutrophil in its" passive" state views the cell as consisting of a
liquid-like cytoplasmic region surrounded by a membrane. The cell surface is in a state of …

Effective therapies are urgently needed for the SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 pandemic. We
identified panels of fully human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) from large phage-displayed …

The apparent area expansion modulus and tensile strength of egg phosphatidylcholine
(EPC) membranes are measured in the presence of monooleoylphosphatidylcholine …

Surface-grafted polymers, such as poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG), provide an effective steric
barrier against surface-surface and surface-macromolecule interactions. In the present work …

Phagocyte migration and activation at sites of inflammation is mediated through
chemoattractant receptors that are coupled to G-proteins. Early studies from our laboratory …

While the aqueous solubility for bilayer phospholipids is less than 10− 10 M—keeping lipid
membranes at essentially constant mass, single chain surfactants can have a significant …

The formation of pseudopods and lamellae after ligation of chemoattractant sensitive G-
protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) is essential for chemotaxis. Here, pseudopod extension …

A theoretical model and an experiment are presented for determining the bending modulus
of a bilayer vesicle membrane. The vesicle is held with a pipet having a radius between 1 …
