Supersize Edition: A Maxi Best-of MP Menu

It’s all about MP engineering today: From synthetic DIY to improve bioproduction to tinkering with sugar specificity, from building synthetic nanopore to humanizing fruit flies, and event AI to chitchat with your pets, the membrane digest goes Sci-fi !

Here is an ”Express Membrane’s Digest”, to catch up with the MP literature. Mb Dig will be back in a regular format on Monday !

A “Mb Digest Express” to catch up on our delayed literature review: a wealth of high-quality and inspiring work as usual with efflux pumps, membrane protein - lipid interactions, high-resolution structures, and more: again, a rich and inspiring batch ... Enjoy the read, and have a great day !

After a well-deserved summer break... the Membrane Digest is back! We may have paused, but the membrane research world certainly didn’t ? Big papers ahead: it’s great to be back ! Martin PS: with the long break, the bibliography backlog has piled up … Regular mini digests will follow over the next days and weeks, in a more condensed format (without express summaries), to catch up.

Membrane protein transport of … RNA (!!!), pangolin meat, synthetic biology and optical tools to rewire cellular processes, and even bubble-based communication with whales… Today’s issue is full of surprises and excitement !

Super busy time lately… and the membrane world has been just as active — if not more ! Below, you'll find a slightly delayed but very exciting (and content-packed) edition of the Membrane Digest:

Today a slightly lighter Membrane’s digest: light on content, but super rich in quality. Plants, yeast, virus, bacteria, macrophages, serotonergic neurons: MPs rule them all !!!

In today’s digest, membranes take central stage: bending, flipping, and frying cancer cells one lipid at a time. but proteins have not said their last word. In addition, physicists play Midas and Spicy food aficionados will find an antidote ?️? !

A new efflux pump partner, new model for proton pumping and lipid-based gating mechanisms, new detergents and ? antibodies, new cool artificial lipid mimetic, previously hidden biding sites, … all this topped with a pinch of sugar … What an exciting time to be studying membranes and membrane proteins !
