This short review aims at presenting some recent illustrative examples of spontaneous
nucleolipids self-assembly. High-resolution structural investigations reveal the diversity and …

Lipids are important building blocks in cellular compartments, and therefore their self‐
assembly into well‐defined hierarchical structures has gained increasing interest. Cationic …

X-ray scattering is a well-established technique in materials science. Several excellent
textbooks exist in this field, but these texts are typically written by physicists who use …

Small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering are well-established, non-invasive experimental
techniques to interrogate global structural properties of biological membrane mimicking …

Nonviral gene therapy using gemini surfactants is a unique approach to medicine that can
be adapted toward the treatment of various diseases. Recently, gemini surfactants have …

Gene therapy is a technique utilized to treat diseases caused by missing, defective or
