Dendritic cells (DCs) are key players in the immune system as they orchestrate the initiation of immune responses, but also the induction of tolerance. DC signaling response and the host recognition of invading pathogens primarily rely on receptors that are highly expressed on the cell surface of DC...

June 2019. The study characterizes the structure and dynamics of phospholipid bilayers close to phase transition employing atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. The simulations recover not only the well-studied first-order transition with discontinuities in the area per lipid or membrane thickne...
