Measurement and modeling of diffuse ultraviolet radiation: A review
Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.Solar UV radiation consists of direct and diffuse UV components. The diffuse component contributes to the exposure received by humans and to the risk of skin cancer and sun‐related eye disorders. This review aims to determine future research directions for the measurement and modeling of diffuse solar UV radiation.

Freeze-thaw cycles induce content exchange between cell-sized lipid vesicles
New Journal of Physics, 2018 Early protocells are commonly assumed to consist of an amphiphilic membrane enclosing an RNA-based self-replicating genetic system and a primitive metabolism without protein enzymes.

Low-cost equipment for electroformation of Giant Unilamellar Vesicles
HardwareX, 2018 Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUVs) constitute a very useful model for biomembranes. They are usually generated by electroformation using sinusoidal potential waves applied between two platinum electrodes or electrodes composed of glasses covered by indium

MedComm – Biomaterials and Applications, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.The image illustrates how PROTACs utilize endocytosis, mediated by cell surface proteins, to overcome bioavailability limitations and enable efficient intracellular delivery. ABSTRACT Proteolysis‐targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are promising therapeutic agents for targeted protein degradation via the ubiquitin‐proteasome system; however, their clinical ...

A Note on Vestigial Osmotic Pressure
Membranes, 2023 Recent experiments have indicated that at least a part of the osmotic pressure across the giant unilamellar vesicle (GUV) membrane was balanced by the rapid formation of the monodisperse daughter vesicles inside the GUVs through an endocytosis-like ...
