Direct measurement of DNA-mediated adhesion between lipid bilayers

, 2015
Multivalent interactions between deformable mesoscopic units are ubiquitous in biology, where membrane macromolecules mediate the interactions between neighbouring living cells and between cells and solid substrates.

Interaction of two antitumor peptides with membrane lipids - Influence of phosphatidylserine and cholesterol on specificity for melanoma cells.

PLoS ONE, 2019
R-DIM-P-LF11-322 and DIM-LF11-318, derived from the cationic human host defense peptide lactoferricin show antitumor activity against human melanoma. While R-DIM-P-LF11-322 interacts specifically with cancer cells, the non-specific DIM-LF11-318 exhibits ...

Pepticombisomes: Biomimetic Vesicles Crafted From Recombinant Supercharged Polypeptides with Uniformly Distributed Side‐Chains

Advanced Science
Cell membranes play a key role in bottom‐up synthetic biology, as they enable interaction control, transport, and other essential functions. These ultra‐thin, flexible, yet stable structures form through the self‐assembly of lipids and proteins.

Benefits of Combined Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy and Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy for Biomedical Studies Demonstrated by Using a Liposome Model System

Biophysica
Drug delivery systems play a pivotal role in targeted pharmaceutical transport and controlled release at specific sites. Liposomes, commonly used as drug carriers, constitute a fundamental part of these systems.
