Lipid bilayers determine the architecture of cell membranes and regulate a myriad of distinct
processes that are highly dependent on the lateral organization of the phospholipid …

The poor water solubility and bioavailability of curcumin can be improved by encapsulating it
into liposomes. However, the existing encapsulation technologies, such as the thin film …

Supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) are biomimetic model systems that are now widely used to
address the biophysical and biochemical properties of biological membranes. Two main …

Introduction and aim Olmesartan medoxomil (OLM) is an antihypertensive drug with low oral
bioavailability due to extensive first-pass metabolism. This study aimed to prepare transetho …

To gain a better understanding of how monovalent salt under physiological conditions
affects plasma membranes, we have performed 200 ns atomic-scale molecular dynamics …

Understanding the effect of mechanical stress on biological membranes is of fundamental
importance in biology since cells are known to perform their function under the effect of a …

Polyethylenimine (PEI) has been demonstrated as an efficient DNA delivery vehicle both in
vitro and in vivo. There is a consensus that PEI-DNA complexes enter the cells by …

Some biological plasma membranes pass water with a permeability and selectivity largely
exceeding those of commercial membranes for water desalination using specialized trans …

Despite the vast amount of experimental and theoretical studies on the binding affinity of
cations–especially the biologically relevant Na+ and Ca2+–for phospholipid bilayers, there …

We have used the quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D)
technique to investigate how mono-and divalent cations influence the formation of supported …
