Voltage-Induced Nonconductive Pre-Pores and Metastable Single Pores in Unmodified Planar Lipid Bilayer
In the present work the authors studied the conductance changes associated with the formation of the metastable transient single pores in unmodified BLMs under high electric field.

Shear Force at the Cell-Matrix Interface: Enhanced Analysis for Microfabricated Post Array Detectors
In this article the authors studied the bending pattern of mPAD posts and found that shear force is the dominant force type applied by cells.

Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Hydrophilic Pores in Lipid Bilayers

Researchers have created the first computer simulation of full-system protein folding thermodynamics at the atomic-level.

Study Pinpoints Rare Molecular 'Transitions' As Possible Cause Of Skin 'Photoaging'
Experimenting with lasers, hard-to-detect interactions between skin molecules and sunlight were discovered that eventually could cause the uncomplimentary changes characteristic of "photoaging."

Physics and biology team up to tackle protein folding debate
A team of researchers bring biology and statistical physics together to answer the question of how molecular chaperones fold, unfold and pull proteins around in the cell
