  • Biological lipid nanotubes and their potential role in evolution 
    Gözen, Irep; Dommersnes, Paul Gunnar (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)
    The membrane of cells and organelles are highly deformable fluid interfaces, and can take on a multitude of shapes. One distinctive and particularly interesting property of biological membranes is their ability to from ...
  • A cellular automaton for modeling non-trivial biomembrane ruptures 
    Gupta, Abhay; Gözen, Irep; Taylor, Michael (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)
    A novel cellular automaton (CA) for simulating biological membrane rupture is proposed. Constructed via simple rules governing deformation, tension, and fracture, the CA incorporates ideas from standard percolation models ...
  • Mixed fatty acid-phospholipid protocell networks 
    Põldsalu, Inga; Köksal, Elif; Gözen, Irep (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)
    Self-assembled membranes composed of both fatty acids and phospholipids are permeable for solutes and structurally stable, which was likely an advantageous combination for the development of primitive cells on the early ...
  • Nanotube-Mediated Path to Protocell Formation 
    Köksal, Elif; Liese, Susanne; Kantarci, Ilayda; Olsson, Ragni; Carlson, Andreas; Gözen, Irep (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / SubmittedVersion, 2019)
  • Spontaneous Formation and Rearrangement of Artificial Lipid Nanotube Networks as a Bottom-Up Model for Endoplasmic Reticulum 
    Köksal, Elif; Belletati, Patrícia Fernandes; Reint, Ganna; Olsson, Ragni; Leitl, Kira; Kantarci, Ilayda; Gözen, Irep (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)
    We present a convenient method to form a bottom-up structural organelle model for the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The model consists of highly dense lipidic nanotubes that are, in terms of morphology and dynamics, reminiscent ...
  • Spontaneous formation of prebiotic compartment colonies on Hadean Earth and pre-Noachian Mars 
    Köksal, Elif; Põldsalu, Inga; Friis, Henrik; Mojzsis, Stephen J; Bizzarro, Martin; Gözen, Irep (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)
    Prominent among the models for protocells is the spherical biosurfactant shell, freely suspended in aqueous media. This model explains initial, but not subsequent events in the development process towards structured ...
  • Styrene maleic acid copolymer induces pores in biomembranes 
    Rydmark, Marcella Orwick; Christensen, Mikkel Killingmoe; Köksal, Elif; Kantarci, Ilayda; Yantchev, Ventsislav; Jesorka, Aldo; Gözen, Irep (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)
    We investigated the interactions between styrene–maleic acid (SMA) copolymers and phospholipid bilayers, using confocal microscopy and surface acoustic wave resonance (SAR) sensing. For the first time we experimentally ...
