Caspase-8 binding to cardiolipin in giant unilamellar vesicles provides a functional docking platform for bid [PDF]

, 2013
Caspase-8 is involved in death receptor-mediated apoptosis in type II cells, the proapoptotic programme of which is triggered by truncated Bid. Indeed, caspase-8 and Bid are the known intermediates of this signalling pathway.

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

PLoS 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.

Extent and mechanism of sealing in transected giant axons of squid and earthworms [PDF]

, 1994
Transected axons are often assumed to seal at their cut ends by the formation of continuous membrane barriers that allow for the restoration of function in the axonal stumps.

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

BMC 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]

Biophysical 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

Journal 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]

, 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 ...
