Wrinkling of a spherical lipid interface induced by actomyosin cortex
Hiroaki Ito, Yukinori Nishigami, Seiji Sonobe +1
Actomyosin actively generates contractile forces that provide the plasma membrane with the deformation stresses essential to carry out biological processes. Although the contractil…
Oscillation and collective conveyor of water-in-oil droplets by microfluidic bolus flow
Takuya Ohmura, Masatoshi Ichikawa, Ken-ichiro Kamei +1
Microfluidic techniques have been extensively developed to realize micro-total analysis systems in a small chip. For microanalysis, electro-magnetic forces have generally been util…
Molecular behavior of DNA in a cell-sized compartment coated by lipids
T. Hamada, R. Fujimoto, S. F. Shimobayashi +2
The behavior of long DNA molecules in a cell-sized confined space was investigated. We prepared water-in-oil droplets covered by phospholipids, which mimic the inner space of a cel…
Phase-separation transitions in asymmetric lipid bilayers
Shunsuke F. Shimobayashi, Masatoshi Ichikawa, Takashi Taniguchi
Morphological transitions of phase separation associated with the asymmetry of lipid composition were investigated using micrometer-sized vesicles of lipid bilayers made from a lip…
Dynamics of microdroplets over the surface of hot water
Takahiro Umeki, Masahiko Ohata, Hiizu Nakanishi +1
When drinking a cup of coffee under the morning sunshine, you may notice white membranes of steam floating on the surface of the hot water. They stay notably close to the surface a…
