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 ...

We present an X-ray scattering study of the effects of dehydration on the bilayer and chain−chain repeat spacings of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine bilayers in the presence of sugars. The presence of ...

Natural (fluid) lipid bilayers were incorporated together with membrane-bound proteins by lithographically polymerizing DiynePC/DiynePE bilayers. The hybrid membrane of functionalized polymeric ...

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

Bacteria can precisely adjust their membrane lipid compositions to control the biophysical properties of their membranes, which allows them to thrive in various physical environments. Here ...

Lamelle’s Serra skincare range – the first product that mimics the structure and function of the natural lipid bilayer of the ...

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

Integrating cell-free protein synthesis and vesicle-based delivery enhances membrane proteins’ stability and functionality.

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.

Lipids are fatty, waxy, or oily compounds that serve as the building blocks of all living cells. Three main types of lipids (phospholipids, triglycerides, and sterols like cholesterol) are essential ...
