Biological membranes are fascinating. Santiago Ramón y Cajal, who received the Nobel prize in 1906 together with Camillo Golgi for their work on the nervous system, wrote “[…]in the study of this membrane[…] I felt more profoundly than in any other subject of study the shuddering sensation of the un...
