Supported lipid bilayers are widely used as cell membrane models and sensor platforms,
but the usage on gold surface needs additional surface modification or optimized …

The supported lipid bilayer (SLB) platform is a popular cell membrane mimic that is utilized
in the chemical, biological, materials science, and medical fields. To date, SLB preparation …

The development of synthetic nanomaterials that could embed within, penetrate, or induce
fusion between membranes without permanent disruption would have great significance for …

Structural control of lipid membranes is important for mechanisms underlying biological
functions and for creating high-functionality soft materials. We demonstrate the reversible …

We describe the spontaneous incorporation of amphiphilic gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) into
the walls of surfactant vesicles. Au NPs were functionalized with mixed monolayers of …

The design of ligand-protected metal nanoparticles (NPs) with biomedical applications relies
on the understanding, at the molecular level, of their interactions with cell membranes. Here …

The structure and stability of hybrid lipid vesicles containing bilayer-encapsulated
hydrophobic nanoparticles is dependent upon lipid phase behavior. By embedding …

Anionic, monolayer-protected gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been shown to
nondisruptively penetrate cellular membranes. Here, we show that a critical first step in the …

A simple thiolipid molecule was synthesized by covalent linking of mercaptopropionic acid
with phosphatidylethanolamine. The integrity of thiolipid self-assembled monolayers …

Biomineralization processes show a high degree of control over the morphology, orientation,
and organization of inorganic materials to create remarkably complex patterns.'One …
