This review summarizes recent research on the design of polymer material systems based
on biomimetic concepts and reports on the medical devices that implement these systems …

The amounts of antibiotics of anthropogenic origin released and accumulated in the
environment are known to have a negative impact on local communities of microorganisms …

Liposome-based drug delivery systems are nanosized spherical lipid bilayer carriers that
can encapsulate a broad range of small drug molecules (hydrophilic and hydrophobic …

An ordered phase in one leaflet of an asymmetric bilayer can induce a precisely
superimposed induced order domain in the apposed leaflet. Order is induced in such simple …

The lipid composition of cellular membranes can impact a number of physiological
processes such as signaling, cell migration, endocytosis and intracellular transport. In this …

Several studies have demonstrated interactions between the two leaflets in membrane
bilayers and the importance of specific lipid species for such interaction and membrane …

By study of asymmetric membranes, models of the cell plasma membrane (PM) have
improved, with more realistic properties of the asymmetric lipid composition of the …

It is well known that the lipid distribution in the bilayer leaflets of mammalian plasma
membranes (PMs) is not symmetric. Despite this, model membrane studies have largely …

Inter-leaflet coupling is critical to control the dynamics of membrane domain registration/anti-
registration, which is important in maintaining proper biological functions. Factors such as …

Lipid vesicles (liposomes) are a unique and fascinating type of polymolecular aggregates,
obtained from bilayer-forming amphiphiles—or mixtures of amphiphiles—in an aqueous …
