Modulation of the molecular arrangement in artificial and biological membranes by phospholipid-shelled microbubbles by Carugo, D, Aron, M, Sezgin, E, Bernardino de la Serna, J, Kuimova, M, Eggeling, C, Stride, E

“…In this study, we employed quantitative fluorescence microscopy techniques to investigate this phenomenon in both artificial and biological membrane bilayers in an acoustofluidic system. …”

Closing the gap: The approach of optical and computational microscopy to uncover biomembrane organization by Eggeling, C, Honigmann, A

“… <p style="text-align:justify;"> Biological membranes are complex composites of lipids, proteins and sugars, which catalyze a myriad of vital cellular reactions in a spatiotemporal tightly controlled manner. …”

Nanoscale dynamics of cholesterol in the cell membrane by Pinkwart, K, Schneider, F, Lukoseviciute, M, Sauka-Spengler, T, Lyman, E, Eggeling, C, Sezgin, E

“…Here, we applied advanced fluorescence imaging and spectroscopy approaches on in vitro (model membranes) and in vivo (live cells and embryos) membranes as well as in silico analysis to systematically study the nanoscale dynamics of cholesterol in biological membranes. Our results indicate that cholesterol diffuses faster than phospholipids in live membranes, but not in model membranes. …”

Phase partitioning of GM1 and its bodipy-labeled analog determine their different binding to cholera toxin by Rissanen, S, Grzybek, M, Orłowski, A, Róg, T, Cramariuc, O, Levental, I, Eggeling, C, Sezgin, E, Vattulainen, I

“…Driven by interactions between lipids and proteins, biological membranes display lateral heterogeneity that manifests itself in a mosaic of liquid-ordered (Lo) or raft, and liquid-disordered (Ld) or non-raft domains with a wide range of different properties and compositions. …”
