Carbon nanodots (CNDs) are the latest and most shining rising stars among
photoluminescent (PL) nanomaterials. These carbon-based surface-passivated …

Cell membranes contain a large variety of lipid types and are crowded with proteins,
endowing them with the plasticity needed to fulfill their key roles in cell functioning. The …

Cell membranes provide a selective semi-permeable barrier to the passive transport of
molecules. This property differs greatly between organisms. While the cytoplasmic …

The transdermal route of drugs has received increased attention in recent years due to
numerous advantages over the oral and injectable routes, such as avoidance of the hepatic …

This Review illustrates the evaluation of permeability of lipid membranes from molecular
dynamics (MD) simulation primarily using water and oxygen as examples. Membrane …

Membrane permeability is a key property to consider during the drug design process, and
particularly vital when dealing with small molecules that have intracellular targets as their …

The past twenty five years have seen an explosion in the creation and discovery of new
medicinal agents. Related innovations in drug delivery systems have not only enabled the …
