Cytology of large neurons in the guinea pig dorsal cochlear nucleus contacting the inferior colliculus

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Histochemistry, 2009
Large neurons in the dorsal cochlear nucleus of the guinea pig which project to the inferior colliculus were identified after injections of the neural tracer WGA-HRP.

Asymmetrical Polyhedral Configuration of Giant Vesicles Induced by Orderly Array of Encapsulated Colloidal Particles. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Giant vesicles (GVs) encapsulating colloidal particles by a specific volume fraction show a characteristic configuration under a hypertonic condition. Several flat faces were formed in GV membrane with orderly array of inner particles.

Fluid Vesicles in Flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We review the dynamical behavior of giant fluid vesicles in various types of external hydrodynamic flow. The interplay between stresses arising from membrane elasticity, hydrodynamic flows, and the ever present thermal fluctuations leads to a rich ...

Effect of engineered TiO2 and ZnO nanoparticles on erythrocytes, platelet-rich plasma and giant unilamelar phospholipid vesicles

open access: yesBMC Veterinary Research, 2013
Background Massive industrial production of engineered nanoparticles poses questions about health risks to living beings. In order to understand the underlying mechanisms, we studied the effects of TiO2 and ZnO agglomerated engineered nanoparticles (EPs)

Asymmetric Giant Unilamellar Vesicles [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2010
The lipid composition of the eukaryotic plasma membrane is asymmetric; that is, if the bilayer is considered to consist of two leaflets, the outer-facing leaflet contains different lipids at different concentrations than the inner-facing leaflet. While there has been much speculation as to the physiological purpose of this asymmetry, it has been ...

Protein-mediated palmitate uptake and expression of fatty acid transport proteins in heart giant vesicles

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1999
Giant sarcolemmal vesicles were isolated from rat heart and hindlimb muscles for a) characterization of long-chain fatty acid transport in the absence of metabolism and b) comparison of fatty acid transport protein expression with fatty acid transport ...

Using small molecules to facilitate exchange of bicarbonate and chloride anions across liposomal membranes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Bicarbonate is involved in a wide range of biological processes, which include respiration, regulation of intracellular pH and fertilization. In this study we use a combination of NMR spectroscopy and ion-selective electrode techniques to show that the ...

The GDP-Bound State of Mitochondrial Mfn1 Induces Membrane Adhesion of Apposing Lipid Vesicles through a Cooperative Binding Mechanism

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
Mitochondria are double-membrane organelles that continuously undergo fission and fusion. Outer mitochondrial membrane fusion is mediated by the membrane proteins mitofusin 1 (Mfn1) and mitofusin 2 (Mfn2), carrying a GTP hydrolyzing domain (GTPase) and ...
