Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 63, Issue 48, November 25, 2024.Disequilibration by sensitization under confinement is used for the first time to modulate the surface tension of water with the aid of photoswitchable surfactants. Surfactants POS or NEG were encapsulated in a macrocyclic cage together with a photosensitizer so that irradiation with visible light (green or red) could induce isomerization and thus ...

Molecular mechanisms of perilipin protein function in lipid droplet metabolism
FEBS Letters, Volume 598, Issue 10, Page 1170-1198, May 2024.Lipid droplets (LDs) are important for the storage of energy and lipid components. The perilipin family in mammals includes five proteins (PLIN1 to PLIN5), all of which are abundant on the surface of LDs in different tissues and play a role in LD stability and degradation by lipases.

Generalized surface momentum balances for the analysis of surface dilatational data [PDF]
, 2018 Dilatational rheological properties of interfaces are often determined using drop tensiometers, in which the interface of the droplet is subjected to oscillatory area changes.

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 4, 2024.Stimuli‐responsive emulsions stabilized by branched copolymers have been shown to exhibit either temperature‐induced gelation or breaking by control of polymer architecture. Reducing the molecular weight of a hydrophilic stabilizer block favors temperature‐induced breaking, whilst the relative abundance of this component can control transition ...
