Nanoscale lipid vesicles are attractive vehicles for drug delivery. Although often considered
as soft nanoparticles in terms of mechanical deformability, the fluidic nature of the lipid …

To infect a cell, enveloped viruses must first undergo membrane fusion, which proceeds
through a hemifusion intermediate, followed by the formation of a fusion pore through which …

Drug encapsulation in liposomes has provided an opportunity to improve therapeutic drugs
mainly through changes in biodistribution and targeting of drugs to certain tissues. The role …

For the past 50 years, evidence for the existence of functional lipid domains has been
steadily accumulating. Although the notion of functional lipid domains, also known as" lipid …
