Melting transitions in biomembranes
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2019 We investigated melting transitions in biological membranes in their native state that include their membrane proteins. These membranes originated from \textit{E. coli}, \textit{B.

BACTERIAL NANOCELLULOSE BIOMEMBRANE AS A SUPPORT FOR HUMAN INSULIN AIMING AT TRANSDERMAL PERMEATION [PDF]
Química Nova, 2020 Production of bacterial nanocellulose was pursued as a matrix system for the stabilization of human insulin. The biomembranes produced by Gluconacetobacter hansenii were washed with 2% aqueous sodium dodecylsulfate solution, rinsed with ultrapure water ...

A Parametric Analysis of Capillary Height in Single-Layer, Small-Scale Microfluidic Artificial Lungs
Micromachines, 2022 Microfluidic artificial lungs (μALs) are being investigated for their ability to closely mimic the size scale and cellular environment of natural lungs. Researchers have developed μALs with small artificial capillary diameters (10–50 µm; to increase gas ...

Leaflet Tensions Control the Spatio-Temporal Remodeling of Lipid Bilayers and Nanovesicles
Biomolecules, 2023 Biological and biomimetic membranes are based on lipid bilayers, which consist of two monolayers or leaflets. To avoid bilayer edges, which form when the hydrophobic core of such a bilayer is exposed to the surrounding aqueous solution, a single bilayer ...

Interaction of Hoechst 33342 with POPC Membranes at Different pH Values
Molecules, 2023 Hoechst 33342 (H33342) is a fluorescent probe that is commonly used to stain the DNA of living cells. To do so, it needs to interact with and permeate through cell membranes, despite its high overall charge at physiological pH values.

The Bacteriostatic Activity of 2-Phenylethanol Derivatives Correlates with Membrane Binding Affinity
Membranes, 2021 The hydrophobic tails of aliphatic primary alcohols do insert into the hydrophobic core of a lipid bilayer. Thereby, they disrupt hydrophobic interactions between the lipid molecules, resulting in a decreased lipid order, i.e., an increased membrane ...

Potential Role of Plasmalogens in the Modulation of Biomembrane Morphology
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Plasmalogens are a subclass of cell membrane glycerophospholipids that typically include vinyl- ether bond at the sn-1 position and polyunsaturated fatty acid at the sn-2 position. They are highly abundant in the neuronal, immune, and cardiovascular cell
