In this review, we describe how photooxidation changes membrane properties that can
ultimately lead to permanent membrane damage. Lipid photooxidation occurs in the …

The lipid composition impacts directly on the structure and function of the cytoplasmic as
well as organelle membranes. Depending on the type of membrane, specific lipids are …

Lipid rafts display a lateral heterogeneity forming membrane microdomains that hold a
fundamental role on biological membranes and are indispensable to physiological functions …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) exert their biological functions by perturbation with cellular
membrane. Conjugation of AMPs with photosensitizer (PS) is a promising strategy for …

Magnetic nanoparticles, such as magnetite (Fe 3 O 4), exhibit superparamagnetic properties
below 15 nm at room temperature. They are being explored for medical applications, and …

A small molecule disulfide unit technology platform based on dynamic thiol exchange
chemistry at the cell membrane has the potential for drug delivery. However, the alteration of …

The ELBA coarse-grained force field was originally developed for lipids, and its water model
is described as a single-site Lennard-Jones particle with electrostatics modeled by an …

Dyes are organic or organometallic compounds that absorb light in the visible range of the
electromagnetic spectrum. Applications of dyes include optical devices, especially dye …

Abstract Singlet oxygen (1 O 2) formed through photosensitization may initiate oxidative
destruction of biomembranes, however, the influence from the spatial organization of …

To meet the requirements of theranostics with diagnosis and treatment, photodynamic-
based therapy is simultaneously enabled with the incorporation of methylene blue (MB) as …
