In this study, we developed giant plasma membrane vesicles (GPMVs) from Leishmania amazonensis promastigote membranes to investigate the role of protein‐embedded membranes in methylene blue (MB) photooxidation. Upon MB photoactivation in model lipid membranes (giant unilamellar vesicles, GUVs), a distinct photooxidation effect was observed, marked by ...

A phototherapy device emitting principally at 234 nm was assessed for antimicrobial efficacy against Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus and evaluated for skin health hazards. Abstract Chronic wounds are a major healthcare issue affecting more than 10 million Americans each year, with a 5‐year survival similar to cancer and costing the ...

Aqueous self‐assembly of a 2‐nitrobenzyl‐functionalized glucosamine derivative leads to the formation of photo‐responsive glyco‐microfibers via cooperative noncovalent interactions, primarily driven by π–π stacking and hydrogen bonding. Upon photo‐irradiation, the glyco‐microfibers undergo dis‐assembly even within confined water‐in‐oil microdroplets ...

Dynamical Instability and Expansion-free Condition in $f(R,T)$ Gravity
Dynamical analysis of spherically symmetric collapsing star surrounding in locally anisotropic environment with expansion-free condition is presented in $f(R,T)$ gravity, where $R$ corresponds to Ricci scalar and $T$ stands for the trace of energy ...

Membrane‐active peptides (MAPs) such as cell‐penetrating peptides (CPPs) and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) can translocate across lipid membranes and create membrane pores. The combination of a dye efflux and a supramolecular tandem membrane assay in a dual‐channel format enables an advanced mechanistic characterization and an exploration of the ...
