Analysis of the shape fluctuations of reconstituted membranes using GUVs made from lipid extracts of invertebrates

open access: yesBiology Open, 2013
Summary Changes in the physical properties of the lipid matrix of cell membranes have repeatedly been proposed to underlie stresses associated with e.g. drought, cold and xenobiotics.

Magnetoliposomes as model for signal transmission [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2019
Liposomes containing magnetic nanoparticles (magnetoliposomes) have been extensively explored for targeted drug delivery. However, the magnetic effect of nanoparticles movement is also an attractive choice for the conduction of signals in communication ...

Polyproline: A Synthetic Polypeptide With Unique Properties

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Poly‐L‐proline is a unique polypeptide distinguished by its well‐defined secondary structures and unusual thermal behavior. This mini review highlights recent advances in the synthesis of poly‐L‐proline by N‐carboxyanhydride (NCA) polymerization, the formation of structurally defined architectures and nanostructures, and emerging strategies that ...

A Closed System for Pico-Liter Order Substance Transport from a Giant Liposome to a Cell

open access: yesMicromachines, 2018
In single cell analysis, transport of foreign substances into a cell is an important technique. In particular, for accurate analysis, a method to transport a small amount (pico-liter order) of substance into the cell without leakage while retaining the ...

Multiple Membrane Interactions and Versatile Vesicle Deformations Elicited by Melittin

open access: yesToxins, 2013
Melittin induces various reactions in membranes and has been widely studied as a model for membrane-interacting peptide; however, the mechanism whereby melittin elicits its effects remains unclear. Here, we observed melittin-induced changes in individual

The Two Sweet Sides of Janus Lectin Drive Crosslinking of Liposomes to Cancer Cells and Material Uptake

open access: yesToxins, 2021
A chimeric, bispecific Janus lectin has recently been engineered with different, rationally oriented recognition sites. It can bind simultaneously to sialylated and fucosylated glycoconjugates. Because of its multivalent architecture, this lectin reaches

Cholesterol is present in giant liposomes.

open access: yes, 2013
Giant liposomes were made with 3∶1 POPE∶POPG and 0% or 5% NBD-Cholesterol. Giant liposomes formed without NBD-cholesterol showed no emission above 505 nm following excitation at 488 nm.
