1.
Piontek M, Roos W
J Extracell Biol . 2024 Jun; 1(12):e68. PMID: 38938600
Lipoproteins (LPs) are micelle-like structures with a similar size to extracellular vesicles (EVs) and are therefore often co-isolated, as intensively discussed within the EV community. LPs from human blood plasma...

Palmulli R, Couty M, Piontek M, Ponnaiah M, Dingli F, Verweij F, et al.
Nat Cell Biol . 2024 Jun; 26(7):1093-1109. PMID: 38886558
Extracellular vesicles such as exosomes are now recognized as key players in intercellular communication. Their role is influenced by the specific repertoires of proteins and lipids, which are enriched when...

Vorselen D, Piontek M, Roos W, Wuite G
Front Mol Biosci . 2020 Aug; 7:139. PMID: 32850949
Both natural as well as artificial vesicles are of tremendous interest in biology and nanomedicine. Small vesicles (<200 nm) perform essential functions in cell biology and artificial vesicles (liposomes) are...

Sorkin R, Marchetti M, Logtenberg E, Piontek M, Kerklingh E, Brand G, et al.
Biophys J . 2020 Jan; 118(3):643-656. PMID: 31952804
Synaptotagmin-1 (Syt1) is a calcium sensor protein that is critical for neurotransmission and is therefore extensively studied. Here, we use pairs of optically trapped beads coated with SNARE-free synthetic membranes...

Piontek M, Lira R, Roos W
Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj . 2019 Nov; 1865(4):129486. PMID: 31734458
Background: The interest in mechanics of synthetic and biological vesicles has been continuously growing during the last decades. Liposomes serve as model systems for investigating fundamental membrane processes and properties....

Vorselen D, van Dommelen S, Sorkin R, Piontek M, Schiller J, Dopp S, et al.
Nat Commun . 2018 Nov; 9(1):4960. PMID: 30470753
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are widely studied regarding their role in cell-to-cell communication and disease, as well as for applications as biomarkers or drug delivery vehicles. EVs contain membrane and intraluminal...

Piontek M, Roos W
Methods Mol Biol . 2017 Sep; 1665:243-258. PMID: 28940073
Imaging of nano-sized particles and sample features is crucial in a variety of research fields. For instance in biological sciences, where it is paramount to investigate structures at the single...
