A combined experimental and computational approach was developed to understand lateral interactions between membrane-bound proteins and used to quantify the contributions of specific and non-specific interactions to cadherin cis-binding kinetics.

Cryogenic super-resolution microscopy resolves the three-dimensional arrangement of individual fluorescent markers attached to protein complexes with Angstrom precision through their blinking behavior, polarization selection and a classification scheme.

TANGO1 functions as a linactant filament to stabilize shallow COPII-coated buds, and after which membrane tension regulation, possibly mediated by TANGO1-controlled membrane fusion, facilitates bud elongation for procollagen export.

Doves improve their wingbeat efficacy without elevating maximum pectoralis power by angling their wings mid-downstroke to efficiently generate aerodynamic force while simultaneously tensioning the supracoracoideus tendon to assist the upstroke.

An iron-sensitive gene cluster encodes proteins that co-localize with phytotransferrin endosomes and are involved in key intracellular iron transformation and trafficking processes in a model marine diatom.

Association of curvature generating proteins to the Golgi membranes by sphingomyelin metabolism essentially controls the flatness of a Golgi cisterna that is necessary for efficient sorting and export.

Under fluid shear, living cells deform elliptically, align in flow direction, and rotate, from which their frequency-dependent viscoelastic properties can be inferred.

The helical cell shape of Helicobacter pylori depends on the polymerizing cytoskeletal protein CcmA’s recruitment to the cell envelope by Csd5 and CcmA’s indirect stabilization of a periplasmic cell wall hydrolase via interactions with the transmembrane protein Csd7.
