Lipid monolayer spontaneous curvatures (or lipid intrinsic curvatures) are one of several
material properties of lipids that enable the stored curvature elastic energy in a lipid …

Nanovectors, such as liposomes, micelles and lipid nanoparticles, are recognized as
efficient platforms for delivering therapeutic agents, especially those with low solubility in …

Lipid packing in cellular membranes has a direct effect on membrane tension and
microviscosity, and plays a central role in cellular adaptation, homeostasis and disease …

Synthetic lipid vesicles have served as important model systems to study cellular membrane
biology. Research has shown that the mechanical properties of bilayer membranes …

It has been proposed that adaptation to high temperature involved the synthesis of
monolayer-forming ether phospholipids. Recently, a novel membrane architecture was …

Pressure is a fundamental thermodynamic parameter controlling the behavior of biological
macromolecules. Pressure affects protein denaturation, kinetic parameters of enzymes …

Bicontinuous cubic structures offer enormous potential in applications ranging from protein
crystallisation to drug delivery systems and have been observed in cellular membrane …

microfluidics - Chemical Communications (RSC Publishing) DOI:10.1039/C5CC10307J …

We demonstrate that acoustic trapping can be used to levitate and manipulate droplets of
soft matter, in particular, lyotropic mesophases formed from self-assembly of different …

Origin of life scenarios generally assume an onset of cell formation in terrestrial hot springs
or in the deep oceans close to hot vents, where energy was available for non-enzymatic …
