The incorporation of poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG)-conjugated lipids in lipid-based carriers
substantially prolongs the circulation lifetime of liposomes. However, the mechanism (s) by …

Biocompatible and biodegradable assemblies consisting of spherical particles coated with
lipid layers were prepared from sub-micrometer poly (lactic acid) particles and lipid mixtures …

Recently, we reported that 1, 2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoglyceroglycerol (DPPGOG)
prolongs the circulation time of thermosensitive liposomes (TSL). Since the only TSL …

Influenza virosomes have proven to be effective vehicles for the delivery of antigens in the
vaccination of humans against a number of pathogens. However, their potential as a means …

By means of dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS) and small-angle X-ray scattering
(SAXS), we have investigated hydration behavior, solvent dynamics, and static structures of …

A polymer-grafted liposomal formulation that has the potential to be developed for aerosolic
pulmonary delivery of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), a potent vasodilatory …

Bilayer membranes on solid supports are used for fundamental studies of biophysical
properties and for the development of biosensors and other devices. Here we report on …

We describe the formation and characterization of surface-passivating poly (ethylene
glycol)(PEG) films on indium tin oxide (ITO) glass substrates. PEG chains with a molecular …

MATERIALS AND METHODS Materials The doxorubicin (DOX) used to prepare liposomes
was a gift from Mercian Co., Ltd.(Tokyo, Japan). La-distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC) …

Vibrational sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy was applied to study the phase
transitions of the mixed monolayers of l-α-distearoyl phosphatidylethanolamine (DSPE) and …
