WELCOME to Mcube!
We are a research Team at Institut Charles Sadron (Strasbourg, France),
working on:

  • Self assembled phospholipid bilayers
  • Out-of-equilibrium Soft Matter & Athermal systems
  • Wetting, Adhesion and Drying

Eulalie Lafarge, Pore formation in oxidized lipid membranes (2022)

Thursday 24 November 2022, by mcube

Supervisors: Carlos Marques, André Schroder, Pierre Muller
Biological cell membranes are mainly composed of lipids assembling into impermeable bilayer preventing the translocation of numerous molecules inside of the cell. Electroporation is a recently developed technic used in therapy to insert drugs or gene inside a cell in order to increase (...)

Perturbing the catenoid: Stability and mechanical properties of nonaxisymmetric minimal surfaces

Wednesday 17 August 2022, by mcube

Friedrich Walzel, Alice Requier, Kevin Boschi, Jean Farago, Philippe Fuchs, Fabrice Thalmann, Wiebke Drenckhan, Pierre Muller, and Thierry Charitat Phys. Rev. E 106, 014803
Minimal surface problems arise naturally in many soft matter systems whose free energies are dominated by surface or interface energies. Of particular interest are the (...)

We are pleased to announce the second edition of the Strasbourg Soft Matter Meeting that will take place in Strasbourg on June 2-3 2022.
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, active (...)

Emerging Dynamics of Janus particle Engulfment by biomimetic Membranes

Tuesday 1 February 2022, by mcube

EDEM is a reserach project led by A. Stocco in collaboration with Ali Abou-Hassan’s Team funded by ANR. EDEM aims at understanding and controlling particle engulfment and penetration in membranes using a biomimetic approach based on artificial self-propelling Janus particles interacting with giant unilamellar vesicles made of lipid bilayers (...)
