Design of a Trigger‐Responsive Photothermal Vesicle‐Based Cargo Delivery Platform
Drug delivery is reimagined with a vesicle platform that responds only to light. Gold nanorods are anchored to giant unilamellar vesicles through cholesterol, and tuning the cholesterol concentration ensures optimal attachment and efficient release. Upon near‐infrared light stimulation, antibiotic cargo deploys on demand to inhibit bacterial growth ...

Bursting of charged multicomponent vesicles subjected to electric pulses [PDF]
Strong electric pulses applied to phosphatidylcholine ( PC) giant vesicles induce the formation of pores, which reseal within milliseconds. Here, we study the response of vesicles containing PC and negatively charged lipids like phospatidylglycerol ( PG)

Dynamics of Fluid Vesicles in Flow through Structured Microchannels [PDF]
The dynamics of fluid vesicles is studied under flow in microchannels, in which the width varies periodically along the channel. Three types of flow instabilities of prolate vesicles are found.

Lipidome Plasticity Preserves Membrane Function in Sphingolipid‐Depleted HAP1 Cells
Near‐haploid HAP1‐SPT cells, which cannot synthesize sphingolipids de novo, undergo a drastic reduction in sphingolipid content when grown under low FBS conditions. To compensate, they remodel their lipidome by increasing ether‐linked phospholipids and adjusting glycerophospholipid saturation.

Effects of seaweed sterols fucosterol and desmosterol on lipid membranes [PDF]
Higher sterols are universally present in large amounts (20–30%) in the plasma membranes of all eukaryotes whereas they are universally absent in prokaryotes. It is remarkable that each kingdom of the eukaryotes has chosen, during the course of evolution,

ABSTRACT Autophagy is a critical adaptive mechanism in tumor cells that promotes survival under stress, but when dysregulated, it may trigger programmed cell death. The pentacyclic triterpenoids betulinic acid (BA) and ursolic acid (UA) are structurally related compounds that modulate autophagy; however, comparative insights into their effects on ...

Flippase‐Mediated Hybrid Vesicle Division
The successful reconstitution of Drs2p–Cdc50p flippase in small and giant polymer lipid hybrid vesicles is illustrated. The hybrid vesicles show adenosine 5′‐triphosphate consumption and flipping of 2‐dioleoyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phospho‐l‐serine lipids from the inner to the outer leaflet.

Biophysical Studies of SNARE Protein- Membrane Interactions
SNARE (Soluble NSF (N-ethylmaleimide Sensitive Fusion) Attachment Protein Receptors) proteins have been linked to the membrane fusion mechanism since 1993 as fusion proteins and have been suggested to be the minimal machinery.

Alteration in Fluidity of Cell Plasma Membrane in Huntington Disease Revealed by Spectral Phasor Analysis. [PDF]
Huntington disease (HD) is a late-onset genetic neurodegenerative disorder caused by expansion of cytosine-adenine-guanine (CAG) trinucleotide in the exon 1 of the gene encoding the polyglutamine (polyQ).
