Journal ArticleDOI
Vesicles in electric fields: Some novel aspects of membrane behavior
Rumiana Dimova,Natalya Bezlyepkina,Marie Domange Jordö,Roland L. Knorr,Karin A. Riske,Margarita Staykova,Petia M. Vlahovska,Tetsuya Yamamoto,Peng Yang,Reinhard Lipowsky +9 more
TL;DR: New aspects of the response of vesicles with charged or neutral membranes, in fluid or gel-phase, and embedded in different solutions, to strong direct current pulses are described including novel applications of vESicle electrofusion for nanoparticle synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Responsible innovation across borders: tensions, paradoxes and possibilities
Phil Macnaghten,Richard Owen,Jack Stilgoe,Brian Wynne,Adalberto Mantovani Martiniano de Azevedo,A. de Campos,Jason Chilvers,Renato Dagnino,G. di Giulio,Emma Frow,Brian Garvey,Chris Groves,Sarah Hartley,Marcelo Knobel,Elizabete Mayumy Kobayashi,Markku Lehtonen,Javier Lezaun,Leonardo Freire de Mello,Marko Synésio Alves Monteiro,J. Pamplona da Costa,C. Rigolin,B. Rondani,Margarita Staykova,Renzo Taddei,Chris Till,David Tyfield,Sara Wilford,Léa Velho +27 more
TL;DR: A group of early career researchers and academics from Sao Paulo state and from the UK met at the University of Campinas to participate in a workshop on "Responsible Innovation and the Governance of socially controversial technologies".
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanics of surface area regulation in cells examined with confined lipid membranes
TL;DR: A new mechanism for the formation of lipid tubes in cells is demonstrated, which is driven by the membrane lateral compression and may therefore explain the various membrane tubules observed in shrinking cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Confined bilayers passively regulate shape and stress.
TL;DR: It is found that supported lipid bilayers respond to stress by nucleating and evolving spherical and tubular protrusions in cells, generally attributed to proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wrinkling and electroporation of giant vesicles in the gel phase
TL;DR: This work investigates the response of giant gel-phase vesicles to electric pulses and finds that the critical transmembrane potential leading to poration is several times higher as compared to that of fluid membranes.
