Assembling anisotropic colloids using curvature-mediated lipid sorting [PDF]
, 2022 The use of colloid supported lipid bilayers (CSLBs) for assembling colloidal structures has been of recent interest. Here, we use multi-component lipid bilayer membranes formed around anisotropic colloids and show that the curvature anisotropy of the ...

Wetting and complex remodeling of membranes by biomolecular condensates
Nature Communications, 2023 Cells compartmentalize parts of their interiors into liquid-like condensates, which can be reconstituted in vitro. Although these condensates interact with membrane-bound organelles, their potential for membrane remodeling and the underlying mechanisms ...

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 ...

Metal-free photoanodes for C–H functionalization
Nature Communications, 2023 Organic semiconductors, such as carbon nitride, when employed as powders, show attractive photocatalytic properties, but their photoelectrochemical performance suffers from low charge transport capability, charge carrier recombination, and self-oxidation.

Different pathways for engulfment and endocytosis of liquid droplets by nanovesicles
Nature Communications, 2023 In this work, the authors investigate on how condensate droplets, arising from liquid-liquid phase separation, can be engulfed by nanovesicles via distinct pathways, leading to different vesicle-droplet morphologies.

An efficient route to aqueous phase synthesis of nanocrystalline γ-Al2O3 with high porosity: From stable boehmite colloids to large pore mesoporous alumina [PDF]
, 2012 In this paper we emphasise the important role of Pluronic F127 on the porosity of mesoporous alumina prepared from boehmite colloids. By focusing on the F127/boehmite interactions we show how the concepts of interface science may help to predict and ...

Nanoparticles: Characteristics, Mechanisms and Modulation of Biotoxicity
KONA Powder and Particle Journal, 2014 Particulates of 1 to 100 nanometers size are being increasingly used for a variety of clinical and commercial purposes due to their large surface-to-volume ratio and unique physico-chemical, mechanical and electronic
