The Golgi complex (GC) represents the central junction for membrane trafficking. Protein and lipid cargoes continuously move through the GC in both anterograde and retrograde directions, departing to and arriving from diverse destinations within the cell. ...
The pentraxins are a family of highly conserved plasma proteins of metazoans known to function in immune defence. The canonical members, C-reactive protein and serum amyloid P component, have been identified in arthropods and humans. Mammalian pentraxins a ...
Rather than being distributed homogeneously on the cell surface, proteins are probably aggregated in clusters or in specific domains. Some of these domains (lipid rafts) have lipid compositions, which differ from their surrounding membrane. They have been ...
Membrane protein research depends largely on the availability of functional protein in an instrumental set- up for application of biophysical investigations. We used an in vitro synthesis strategy in the presence of a solid supported lipid membrane as a ne ...
BACKGROUND: Pathological accumulation of cholesterol in late endosomes is observed in lysosomal storage diseases such as Niemann-Pick type C. We here analyzed the effects of cholesterol accumulation in NPC cells, or as phenocopied by the drug U18666A, on l ...
BACKGROUND: Late endosomes, the last sorting station in the endocytic pathway before lysosomes, are pleiomorphic organelles composed of tubular elements as well as vesicular regions with a characteristic multivesicular appearance, which play a crucial role ...

We report a method for making ultra-thin PDMS membrane devices. Freely suspended membranes as thin as 70 nm have been fabricated. Bulging tests were performed with a custom built fluidic cell to characterize large circular membranes. The fluidic cell allow ...
Supported cell-membrane sheets are promising in vitro systems to investigate the properties of membranes with native protein/lipid composition, in particular their sub-compartmentalization and the differential localization of proteins associated to them. W ...
We describe the fabrication and application of a bioanalytical chip, made of SU-8 photoresist, comprising integrated, high aspect-ratio microfluidic channels, suitable to manipulate and investigate vesicles, cell fragments and biological cells. A central m ...
