Membrane nanoobjects are very important tools to study biomembrane properties. Two
types are described herein: Bicelles and Nanodiscs. Bicelles are obtained by thorough …

The soft-grainy microstructure of cooked egg yolk is the result of a series of out-of-
equilibrium processes of its protein-lipid contents; however, it is unclear how egg yolk …

Blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction is prevalent in Alzheimer's disease and other
neurological disorders. Restoring normal BBB function through RNA therapy is a potential …

Nanotechnology has long been used to improve the tumor targeting of chemotherapeutics.
The structure of these nanocarriers greatly affects their efficacy and toxicity. Herein …

The self-assembling morphologies of low-concentration (mostly 1 and 10 mg/mL) bicellar
mixtures composed of zwitterionic dipalmitoyl (di-C 16) phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) …

Peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) have gained considerable attention due to their remarkable
potential in gene editing and targeting-based strategies. However, cellular delivery of PNAs …

Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) were used to
study different aggregation states in sodium deoxycholate (NaDC)-phosphatidylcholine …

The effects of two ionic liquids (ILs), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim]
BF4) and 1-butyl-1-methyl pyrrolidinium tetrafluoroborate ([bmp] BF4), on a mixture of …

Cationic lipid–DNA (CL–DNA) complexes can be used as non-viral vectors to improve
transfection efficiency in gene therapy. It is greatly desirable to develop new ways of packing …

Optical thermometers relying on fluorescence intensity are indispensable due to their high
sensitivity, non-contact temperature sensing capability, and exceptional repeatability. In this …
