In biology, the modern scientific fashion is to mostly study proteins. Much less attention is
paid to lipids. However, lipids themselves are extremely important for the formation and …

We studied the mechanical leaflet coupling of prototypic mammalian plasma membranes
using neutron spin-echo spectroscopy. In particular, we examined a series of asymmetric …

Living systems depend on continuous energy input for growth, replication and information
processing. Cells use membrane proteins as nanomachines to convert light or chemical …

Liposomal amphotericin B (Ambisome®) is the gold standard for the treatment and
prevention of fungal infections both in the adult and pediatric populations. The lyophilized …

A unilamellar liposome filled with an osmotic solution is introduced into a hypotonic aqueous
environment. Because of the mechanical tension induced by the osmotic flow, the vesicle …

This paper presents an analytical solution of the differential equations describing the
pulsatory liposome dynamics. We consider a unilamellar liposome filled with an aqueous …

Osmotic pressure can break the fluid balance between intracellular and extracellular
solutions. In hypo-osmotic solution, water molecules, which transfer into the cell and burst …

In this paper, we have considered the problem of a pulsatory lipid vesicle. Under positive
osmotic stress a giant lipid vesicle swells up to a critical diameter, when suddenly a …

In this paper the analytical solutions of the differential equations are presented. These
equations describe the pulsatory liposome dynamics. We consider a unilamellar liposome …

Living systems depend on a continuous input of energy for growth, replication, and
information processing. Cells convert nutrients or light to form metabolic energy in the form …
