Here, we present a simple generic method to incorporate proteins into GUVs. The basic principle is to break proteo-liposomes with an osmotic shock. They subsequently reseal into larger vesicles which, ...

When quarterback prospect Shedeur Sanders fell out of the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, there were some who couldn’t believe he hadn't been picked by an organization, although it wasn’t ...

To our surprise, the population-averaged length of cells after hyperosmotic shock as observed on agarose pads was significantly smaller than expected based on microfluidic measurements. By tracking ...

Otherwise, their membranes would be subject to bursting -- caused by a rush of water triggered by osmotic stress or shock -- as positive and negative electrical charges of ions in those varying ...

The prediction of a rapid increase in growth rate on osmotic shock is experimentally validated using fission yeast. By using phenomenological rules rather than detailed molecular mechanisms, the model ...

Climate change triggers abiotic stress, such as drought and high salinity, that can cause osmotic stress. Water availability can limit plant growth, and the root tip tissues initially sense it. Most ...

This real-time movie shows the topological transformation (prolate–oblate–stomatocytesphere) upon an osmotic shock and micelle addition (stimulus A; ΔC V = 100 mM, ΔC A = 1 mM). Prolate spheroid ...

wide-genome genetic screening, the scientists discovered the central role of a gene known as LRRC8A in cellular ability to survive osmotic shock. This gene codes for a protein that forms channels ...

Phage-shock protein responses are less well understood and can be triggered by a myriad of factors, including filamentous phase infection, osmotic shock, organic solvents, and extended incubation ...

The researchers then subjected their microcapsules to osmotic shock by adding water, which diffused into the microcapsules and made them begin to swell at the thinnest part of the shell.
