Biohybrid active matter -- the emergent properties of cell-mediated microtransport
Valentino Lepro, Robert Großmann, Oliver Nagel +4
As society paves its way towards device miniaturization and precision medicine, micro-scale actuation and guided transport become increasingly prominent research fields with high i…
Force-dependent unbinding rate of molecular motors from stationary optical trap data
Florian Berger, Stefan Klumpp, Reinhard Lipowsky
Molecular motors walk along filaments until they detach stochastically with a force-dependent unbinding rate. Here, we show that this unbinding rate can be obtained from the analys…
Binding equilibrium and kinetics of membrane-anchored receptors and ligands in cell adhesion: insights from computational model systems and theory
Thomas R. Weikl, Jinglei Hu, Guang-Kui Xu +1
The adhesion of cell membranes is mediated by the binding of membrane-anchored receptor and ligand proteins. In this article, we review recent results from simulations and theory t…
Binding kinetics of membrane-anchored receptors and ligands: molecular dynamics simulations and theory
Jinglei Hu, Guang-Kui Xu, Reinhard Lipowsky +1
The adhesion of biological membranes is mediated by the binding of membrane-anchored receptor and ligand proteins. Central questions are how the binding kinetics of these proteins…
Binding constants of membrane-anchored receptors and ligands: a general theory corroborated by Monte Carlo simulations
Guang-Kui Xu, Jinglei Hu, Reinhard Lipowsky +1
Adhesion processes of biological membranes that enclose cells and cellular organelles are essential for immune responses, tissue formation, and signaling. These processes depend se…
The role of membrane curvature for the wrapping of nanoparticles
Amir Houshang Bahrami, Reinhard Lipowsky, Thomas R. Weikl
Cellular internalization of nanoparticles requires the full wrapping of the nanoparticles by the cell membrane. This wrapping process can occur spontaneously if the adhesive intera…
