The structural evolution of a diamond-type bicontinuous lipid cubic phase upon application
of thermal and chemical (hydration agent) stimuli is investigated by means of small-angle …

The lyotropic liquid-crystalline phase behavior of phytantriol is receiving increasing interest
in the literature as a result of similarities with glyceryl monooleate, despite its very different …

The abilities of sub-cellular targeting and stimuli-responsiveness are critical challenges in
pharmaceutical nanotechnology. In the present study, glyceryl monooleate (GMO)-based …

Pathologic neovascularization of the retina is a major cause of substantial and irreversible
loss of vision. Drugs are difficult to deliver to the lesions in the back of the eye and this is a …

Resveratrol (Res) is a common phytoalexin present in a few edible materials, such as grape
skin, peanuts, and red wine. Evidence has shown the beneficial effects of Res on human …

The attractiveness of new omega-3 (ω-3) polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) monoglycerides
(MAGs) lies in the amphiphilic nature and the beneficial health effects as PUFA precursors in …

Self-assembled lyotropic liquid crystalline lipid nanoparticles have been developed for a
wide range of biomedical applications with an emerging focus for use as delivery vehicles …

Three-dimensionally organized lipid cubic self-assemblies and derived oil-in-water
emulsions called “cubosomes” are attractive for various biotechnological applications due to …

Amphiphilic polymers represent one of the main class of stabilizers for non-lamellar lyotropic
liquid crystalline nanoparticles, being essential for their formation and stability. In the present …

Polar lipids and various surfactants exhibit rich phase behavior depending on the
composition of the lipids and the physicochemical conditions. Lamellar (Lα), hexagonal …
