Liposomes have been considered promising and versatile drug vesicles. Compared with
traditional drug delivery systems, liposomes exhibit better properties, including site …

The atomic force microscope (AFM) is not only a tool to image the topography of solid
surfaces at high resolution. It can also be used to measure force-versus-distance curves …

Despite the ubiquity of transbilayer asymmetry in natural cell membranes, the vast majority
of existing research has utilized chemically well-defined symmetric liposomes, where the …

Cell membranes are typically very complex, consisting of a multitude of different lipids and
proteins. Supported lipid bilayers are widely used as model systems to study biological …

The principles of organization and functioning of cellular membranes are currently not well
understood. The raft hypothesis suggests the existence of domains or rafts in cell …

Our study demonstrates that nanoplasmonic sensing (NPS) can be utilized for the
determination of the phase transition temperature (Tm) of phospholipids. During the phase …

X-ray diffuse scattering was measured from oriented stacks and unilamellar vesicles of
dioleoylphosphatidylcholine lipid bilayers to obtain the temperature dependence of the …

Cellular membranes are complex structures and simplified analogues in the form of model
membranes or biomembranes are used as platforms to understand fundamental properties …

Biological membranes define not only the cell boundaries but any compartment within the
cell. To some extent, the functionality of membranes is related to the elastic properties of the …

We present what is, to our knowledge, the first experimental demonstration of dielectric
constant measurement and quantification of supported lipid bilayers in electrolyte solutions …
