Maintenance of the integrity of the plasma membrane is essential for maintenance of cellular
function and prevention of cell death. Since the plasma membrane is frequently exposed to …

The scientific premise, design, and structure-function analysis of chemical-based muscle
membrane stabilizing block copolymers are reviewed here for applications in striated …

Extracellular vesicles (EV) are an emerging technology as immune therapeutics and drug
delivery vehicles. However, EVs are usually stored at− 80° C which limits potential clinical …

Microfluidic production of giant lipid vesicles presents a paradigm-shift in the development of
artificial cells. While production is high-throughput and the lipid vesicles are mono-disperse …

The amyloid aggregation of α-synuclein (α S), related to Parkinson's disease, can be
catalyzed by lipid membranes. Despite the importance of lipid surfaces, the 3D-structure and …

As the primary physiological barrier, intestinal epithelial cells regulate the transportation of
oral therapeutic agents including nanomedicines which significantly improves the …

Although pressure-area isotherms are commonly measured for lipid monolayers, it is not
always appreciated how much they can vary depending on experimental factors. Here, we …

Background The aim of this study was to investigate the intestinal mucus-penetrating
properties and intestinal cellular uptake of two types of liposomes modified by Pluronic F127 …

Chitosan nanoparticles (NC) have excellent capacity for protein entrapment, favorable
epithelial permeability, and are regarded as promising nanocarriers for oral protein delivery …

Interaction of the human antimicrobial peptide LL-37 with lipid monolayers has been
investigated by a range of complementary techniques including pressure-area isotherms …
