Strasbourg Soft Matter 2021

Thursday 17 December 2020, by mcube

VISIT THE MEETING WEBSITE
We are pleased to announce the first edition of the Strasbourg Soft Matter Meeting that will take place in Strasbourg on June 3rd and 4th 2021. The scope of this meeting is to encourage researchers (M2, PhDs, Postdocs and others) working in the broad field of Soft Matter (polymers, biophysics, complex fluids, (...)

Nano- and Janus particles interacting with membranes

Friday 11 October 2019, by mcube

Nano-objects have a peculiar affinity for cell membranes, and sometimes are able to translocate through it. Their small dimensions, which, in many cases, are of the order of the membrane barrier thickness, but also other factors such as the hydrophobic-hydrophilic balance, are expected to control the interactions. We pursue efforts to (...)

Lipid Oxidation

Thursday 10 October 2019, by mcube

We contributed towards the understanding of the effect of lipid oxidation on model bilayer properties. The team was one of the first to visualize membrane oxidation effects under optical microscopy. In particular, we measured the peroxidation-induced average area increase of DOPC and POPC, using in situ peroxidation of GUVs sucked into a (...)

Undulating structures

Wednesday 9 January 2019, by mcube members

The experimental and theoretical expertise developed by our core activity in lipid membranes is relevant also for other areas of Soft Matter. In particular, mathematical methods developed to understand the influence of thermal fluctuations on the mechanical properties of bilayer stacks can potentially be translated to describe macroscopic (...)
