As an enveloped virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)
delivers its viral genome into host cells via fusion of the viral and cell membranes. Here, we …

The mechanisms involved in the uptake of uni-and multi-lamellar lipid vesicles by BALB/c
mouse 3T3 cells have been investigated. Vesicles are incorporated into cells both by …

Publisher Summary Lipid vesicles have been used extensively over the past 10 years as
model membranes from which to obtain information on the physicochemical organization of …

Microscopic and macroscopic approaches to calculations of long-range Van der Waals
interactions between bodies are reviewed. Expressions are presented for various …

The effect of divalent metals on the interaction and mixing of membrane components in
vesicles prepared from acidic phospholipids has been examined using freeze-fracture …

MEMBRANE fusion clearly requires that participating lipids assume some transitory non-
bilayer configuration during the intermediate stages. Previous workers have suggested that …

The effect of the local anesthetic dibucaine on the solid to liquid-crystalline phase transition
in phospholipid vesicles was studied by calorimetry and fluorescence polarization. The …

Cells generally maintain an asymmetric distribution of phospholipids across the plasma
membrane bilayer, restricting the phospholipid, phosphatidylserine (PS), to the inner leaflet …

1. Evidence has been provided for the transfer of phosphatidyl [14C] choline and [3H]
cholesterol between bovine serum albumin and cauda epididymal rat spermatozoa in Krebs …

(1) The thermotropic behaviour of dimyristoyl phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylserine,
phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylcholine was investigated by differential scanning …
