Hydrophilic nanoparticles that kill bacteria while sparing mammalian cells reveal the antibiotic role of nanostructures

Nature Communications, 2022
Developing antibacterial agents which don’t have cytotoxic effects against mammalian cells is of interest for biomedical applications. Here, the authors explore how attaching inert polymer brushes to different sized nanoparticles can result in toxicity ...

Determining a critical threshold for G6PD activity below which red blood cell response to oxidative stress is poor

Malaria Journal, 2020
Background Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common enzyme disorder in the world. Its main function is to generate NADPH that is required for anti-oxidative pathway in the cells especially in red blood cells (RBC).

Efficient Lipid Bilayer Formation by Dipping Lipid-Loaded Microperforated Sheet in Aqueous Solution

Micromachines, 2021
This paper describes a method for a bilayer lipid membrane (BLM) formation using a perforated sheet along with an open chamber. Microscopic observation of the formed membrane showed a typical droplet interface bilayer.

Antibody binding reports spatial heterogeneities in cell membrane organization [PDF]

, 2022
The spatial organization of cell membrane glycoproteins and glycolipids is critical for mediating the binding of ligands, receptors, and macromolecules on the plasma membrane. However, we currently do not have the methods to quantify the spatial heterogeneities of macromolecular crowding on live cell surfaces.

Oxygen reduction at the silver/hydroxide-exchange membrane interface [PDF]

, 2008
A solid-state cell is used to study the electrocatalysis of oxygen reduction at the silver/hydroxide-exchange membrane interface. The catalyst/membrane interface exhibits improved performance in comparison to a catalyst/aqueous sodium hydroxide interface.
