Pullulan, one of polysaccharides, induces aggregation of egg lecithin multilamellar
liposomes as detected by turbidity of the solution. The turbidity disappears upon treatment …

The encapsulation of DNA within liposomes and subsequent fusion of the liposomes with
carrot (Daucus carota L.) protoplasts were examined to determine optimum conditions for …

Maize root tips were incubated in vivo with radioactive glucose, choline or diazotized
sulphanilic acid. Membrane fractions were prepared from radioactive and non-radioactive …

Membrane fusion is a vital process for many cellular activities such as exocytosis,
endocytosis, formation of secondary lysosomes, membrane biosynthesis and cell division …

Publisher Summary As the elucidation of the biological roles of phospholipids has
progressed, a new field of investigation dealing with their pharmacological effects has …

The juxtaglomerular cell (JG) is unique, among secretory systems in terms of its regulatory
role in health and disease. It is a modified vascular smooth muscle cell which synthesizes …

It was found that several lipophilic agents, such as cis-, trans-ethyl decaprenoate and their
structural analogues, significantly induce the liposome-liposome fusion when incubated …

The biophysical investigator interested in membrane fusion has distilled the complexities of
the biological system to the simpler event of fusion between lipid vesicles (liposomes). This …

The broad aim of this series is to work toward" an integrated view of the cell." It is perhaps
fitting that this tenth volume, corresponding to roughly a decade of endeavor in this direction …
