The fatty membrane surrounding every living cell is a vibrant environment where countless biological processes take place.

Gating of mechanosensitive channels has been explained by the force-from-lipids model in which mechanical ... This process creates large diameter, bilayer vesicles comprised of the cellular plasma ...

Scientists at the University of Stuttgart have succeeded in controlling the structure and function of biological membranes with the help of 'DNA origami'. It will help in facilitating the ...

1,2 Liposomes are spherical vesicles formed by one or more lipid bilayers surrounding an aqueous core ... and improving cellular uptake and membrane fusion. These advancements aim to provide safer and ...

4c04598. Additional methods describing sample preparation and QCM-D experimental protocol; extended discussion and time-independent analysis of QCM-D measurement responses for ...

Studying them is challenging because the proteins must be embedded in lipid bilayers to retain their native structure. Many membrane proteins also require post-translational modifications ...

However, the slow lateral diffusion of lipids makes such simulations with membranes computationally expensive. To address this problem, we have developed a split model that accelerates lateral ...

They contribute to the structural integrity and fluidity of membranes, which is essential for normal cellular function. The lipid bilayer formed by phospholipids not only provides a barrier to protect ...

The compounds were incubated for 1 h with lipid bilayers before measurements. The experiments were conducted three times (about 15 runs each) with at least two replicates at 25°C. The effect of the ...
