When a molecule absorbs a photon of appropriate energy, a chain of photophysical events
ensues, such as internal conversion or vibrational relaxation (loss of energy in the absence …

Nucleic acid therapeutics are rapidly expanding because of recent advancements in
production and purification. This class of therapeutics may change the field of disease …

The plasma membrane is of central importance for defining the closed volume of cells in
contradistinction to the extracellular environment. The plasma membrane not only serves as …

The biophysical underpinning of the lipid-raft concept in cellular membranes is the liquid-
ordered phase that is induced by moderately high concentrations of cholesterol. Although …

A microfluidic approach is reported for the high‐throughput, continuous production of giant
unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) using water‐in‐oil‐in‐water double emulsion drops as …

The pulsed field gradient (pfg)-NMR method for measurements of translational diffusion of
molecules in macroscopically aligned lipid bilayers is described. This technique is proposed …

The bovine milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) is an important, biologically relevant
membrane due to its functional and health properties. Its composition has been thoroughly …

The present paper reviews the phase properties of phosphatidylcholine–sphingomyelin–
cholesterol mixtures, that are often used as models for membrane “raft” microdomains. The …

There is broad interest in the question of fluid-fluid phase coexistence in membranes, in
particular, whether evidence for liquid-disordered (ld)-liquid-ordered (lo) two-phase regions …

New multiphoton and confocal microscope technologies and fluorescence lifetime imaging
techniques are now being used to non-invasively image, in space (three dimensions), in …
