Functionalization of the polymeric bilayer provided a route to a robust and biomimetic surface that can be linked with biomolecules, cells, and three-dimensional (3D) microstructures. Biotin and ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have solved a 60-year-old mystery in bacterial cell envelope ...

This paper describes automation of planar lipid bilayer formation by introducing a stepping motor to a microfluidic device. Planar lipid bilayers or lipid vesicles are useful to understand biological ...

A research group has developed a technology for mass-producing uniform artificial cells (lipid bilayer vesicles) with artificial model nuclei using microfluidic devices with high reproducibility. They ...

Here, we investigate mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN)-supported lipid bilayers (protocells), an emerging class of nanocarriers, and establish the synthesis conditions and lipid bilayer composition ...

Abstract: In this paper, we focus on measurement principles used in electroporation studies on planar lipid bilayers. In particular, we point out the voltage-clamp measurement principle that has great ...

Main Bacterial survival depends on membrane lipid homeostasis and on an ability to adjust lipid composition to acclimatize the bacterial cell to different environments.

Molecular vibrations, when paired with near-infrared (NIR) light, have opened a new chapter in cancer treatment. Instead of ...

Scientists have discovered that the internal shape of tiny drug-delivery particles—called lipid nanoparticles—has a big impact on how well our cells absorb them, paving the way to more ...

Fat isn’t just a guilty pleasure — it’s cancer’s secret weapon. New research from UT Southwestern Medical Center is shedding light on why this is the case.
