Preface
The cell, the smallest living unit, interacts with its surroundings via cell membrane and creates a unique biointerface that is vital for cellular processes and cell survival. Better understanding of such a tiny yet complex system is not only crucial for basic research, but also to design advanced platforms for a variety of applications, particularly in medical field. Development of less complex model systems, i.e.,
