The buildup of nonionic surfactants in the aqueous environment produces niosomes. The
usage of niosomes is becoming increasingly frequent due to their sustainability, low cost of …

Despite all the progress in the field of liposomes and nanoparticles for applications as drug
and gene delivery systems, the specific targeting and immune system escape capabilities of …

Monodisperse microbubbles with diameters less than 10 μm are desirable in several
ultrasound imaging and therapeutic delivery applications. However, conventional …

The design, synthesis, and lyotropic liquid crystal phase behaviour of six cross-linkable,
phosphobetaine-based, zwitterionic amphiphiles are described. Two form a QII phase with …

The Langmuir monolayer technique has been successfully used for decades to model
biological membranes and processes occurring at their interfaces. Classically, this method …

Combining amphiphilic block copolymers and phospholipids opens new opportunities for
the preparation of artificial membranes. The chemical versatility and mechanical robustness …

Abstract The calix [4] arene scaffold, blocked in the cone conformation through alkylation
with long alkyl chains, and decorated at the upper rim with four guanidine or arginine units …

In the growing landscape of interest in natural surfactants, selecting the appropriate one for
specific applications remains challenging. The extensive, yet often unsystematized …

In this revision work, we emphasize the close relationship between the action of
phospholipases and the modulation of membrane curvature and curvature stress resulting …

Abstract Three oxysterols (7β-hydroxycholesterol; 7β-OH, 7-ketocholesterol; 7-K and 25-
hydroxycholesterol, 25-OH) differing in the site of oxidation (ring system versus chain) and …
