Lipid oxidation encompasses chemical transformations affecting animals and plants in many
ways, and light is one of the most common triggers of lipid oxidation in our habitat. Still, the …

Although the general mechanisms of lipid oxidation are known, the chemical steps through
which photosensitizers and light permeabilize lipid membranes are still poorly understood …

Oxidation of unsaturated lipids in cellular membranes has been shown to cause severe
membrane damage and potentially cell death. The presence of oxidized lipid species in the …

Studying photosensitized oxidation of unsaturated phospholipids is of importance for
understanding the basic processes underlying photodynamic therapy, photoaging and many …

Mobilization of specific mechanisms of regulated cell death is a promising alternative to treat
challenging illness such as neurodegenerative disease and cancer. The use of light to …

Lipid peroxidation is a process which is key in cell signaling and disease, it is exploited in
cancer therapy in the form of photodynamic therapy. The appearance of hydrophilic moieties …

Although the functions and structural roles of sterols have been the subject of numerous
studies, the reasons for the diversity of sterols in the different eukaryotic kingdoms remain …

In this review, we describe how photooxidation changes membrane properties that can
ultimately lead to permanent membrane damage. Lipid photooxidation occurs in the …

Lipid rafts display a lateral heterogeneity forming membrane microdomains that hold a
fundamental role on biological membranes and are indispensable to physiological functions …

We have studied the dynamics of Lissamine Rhodamine B dye sensitization-induced
oxidation of 1, 2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) giant unilamellar vesicles …
