The functions of caveolae, the characteristic plasma membrane invaginations, remain debated.
Their abundance in cells experiencing mechanical stress led us to investigate their role …

Cholesterol depletion by methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD) remodels the plasma membrane's
mechanics in cells and its interactions with the underlying cytoskeleton, whereas in red blood …

Shape fluctuations of the plasma membrane occur in all cells, are incessant, and are proposed
to affect membrane functioning. Although studies show how membrane fluctuations are …

Actomyosin network under the plasma membrane of cells forms a cortical layer that regulates
cellular deformations during different processes. What regulates the cortex? Characterized …

Deciphering the multifactorial determinants of tumor progression requires standardized high-throughput
preparation of 3D in vitro cellular assays. We present a simple microfluidic …

Adherent cells ensure membrane homeostasis during de-adhesion by various mechanisms,
including endocytosis. Although mechano-chemical feedbacks involved in this process …

Caveolin-3 is the major structural protein of caveolae in muscle. Mutations in the CAV3 gene
cause different types of myopathies with altered membrane integrity and repair, expression …

Objective To describe the number and proportion of accredited, degree-granting institutions
with 100% smoke-free and 100% tobacco-free protections across the USA and by state. …

The adoption of comprehensive tobacco policies by colleges and universities may help
reduce student tobacco use. To this end, The American Cancer Society's Tobacco-Free …

T cells are crucial for efficient antigen-specific immune responses and thus their migration
within the body, to inflamed tissues from circulating blood or to secondary lymphoid organs, …
