An emerging 'rule of thumb' suggests that nanoparticles less than 100 nm in diameter can enter cells, those with diameters ... of liposomes — spherical lipid bilayer membranes that contain ...

This important study characterizes the mechanics and stability of bolalipids from archaeal membranes using molecular dynamics simulations. A mesoscale model of bolalipids is presented and evaluated ...

Scientists from Rice University and their collaborators have unveiled a groundbreaking technique to combat cancer cells, ...

In fact, lipids are crucial in the pathophysiology of cancer development. Several types of cancers share common alterations in the complex cell lipid metabolism. These dysregulated changes can affect ...

adsorption of nanodiscs on nanosized cell surfaces, binding of chemically synthesized lipids (i.e., biotinylation) to high affinity sites on the streptavidin surface, or interaction through ...

This work presents a membrane-targeted azobenzene (MT) as light-responsive tool for cell stimulation. MT photoisomerization ...
