Hybrid, Nanoscale Phospholipid/Block Copolymer Vesicles [PDF]

Polymers, 2013
Hybrid phospholipid/block copolymer vesicles, in which the polymeric membrane is blended with phospholipids, display interesting self-assembly behavior, incorporating the robustness and chemical versatility of polymersomes with the softness and biocompatibility of liposomes.

Hybrid Vesicles Enable Mechano-Responsive Hydrogel Degradation. [PDF]

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl, 2023
Abstract Stimuli‐responsive hydrogels are intriguing biomimetic materials. Previous efforts to develop mechano‐responsive hydrogels have mostly relied on chemical modifications of the hydrogel structures. Here, we present a simple, generalizable strategy that confers mechano‐responsive behavior on hydrogels.

Light-Driven ATP Regeneration in Diblock/Grafted Hybrid Vesicles. [PDF]

Chembiochem, 2020
AbstractLight‐driven ATP regeneration systems combining ATP synthase and bacteriorhodopsin have been proposed as an energy supply in the field of synthetic biology. Energy is required to power biochemical reactions within artificially created reaction compartments like protocells, which are typically based on either lipid or polymer membranes.

Monitoring and modulating ion traffic in hybrid lipid/polymer vesicles

Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2017
Controlling the traffic of molecules and ions across membranes is a critical feature in a number of biologically relevant processes and highly desirable for the development of technologies based on membrane materials. In this paper, ion transport behavior of hybrid lipid/polymer membranes was studied in the absence and presence of ion transfer agents ...

Hybrid Lipid-Polymer Bilayers: pH-Mediated Interactions between Hybrid Vesicles and Glass. [PDF]

Polymers (Basel), 2020
One practical approach towards robust and stable biomimetic platforms is to generate hybrid bilayers that incorporate both lipids and block co-polymer amphiphiles. The currently limited number of reports on the interaction of glass surfaces with hybrid lipid and polymer vesicles—DOPC mixed with amphiphilic poly(ethylene oxide-b-butadiene) (PEO-PBd ...

Lipid-polymer hybrid-vesicles interrupt nucleation of amyloid fibrillation. [PDF]

RSC Chem Biol
Hybrid-vesicles composed of amphiphilic polymers in POPC-lipids inhibit Aβ1–40 peptide fibrillation by interfering with primary and secondary nucleation, most pronounced by the cholesteryl-anchored polymers.

Phytochemicals and Cancer Treatment: Cell-Derived and Biomimetic Vesicles as Promising Carriers

Pharmaceutics, 2023
The majority of anticancer agents currently used derive from natural sources: plants, frequently the ones employed in traditional medicines, are an abundant source of mono- and diterpenes, polyphenols, and alkaloids that exert antitumor activity through ...
