Functional role of water in membranes updated: A tribute to Träuble [PDF]

, 2015
The classical view of a cell membrane is as a hydrophobic slab in which only nonpolar solutes can dissolve and permeate. However, water-soluble non-electrolytes such as glycerol, erythritol, urea and others can permeate lipid membranes in the liquid ...

Kirigami‐Inspired Breathable Smart Contact Lens for Wireless Monitoring of Corneal Hypoxia and Microenvironment

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A kirigami‐inspired breathable smart contact lens is reported for wireless monitoring of corneal hypoxia and microenvironment. The ultrathin (55 µm) and flexible sensing device enables digitalized, in situ and precise monitoring of dissolved oxygen, humidity, and temperature (R2 >0.98).

Arrangement of Annexin A2 tetramer and its impact on the structure and diffusivity of supported lipid bilayers

, 2010
Annexins are a family of proteins that bind to anionic phospholipid membranes in a Ca2+-dependent manner. Annexin A2 forms heterotetramers (Anx A2t) with the S100A10 (p11) protein dimer.

Water-phospholipid interactions at the interface of lipid membranes: comparison of different force fields [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
Water-phospholipid interactions at the lipid bilayer/water interfaces are of essential importance for the dynamics, stability and function of biological membrane, and are also strongly associated with numerous biological processes at the interfaces of lipid bilayers.

“Therapies Through Gut:” Targeted Drug Delivery for Non‐Gastrointestinal Diseases by Oral Administration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of the mechanism of targeted delivery of nanoparticles including 1) paracellular, 2) endolysosomal escape, 3) receptor mediated endocytosis, and 4) M cell mediated transport for non‐GI diseases by oral administration such as atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetes, and brain diseases. Abstract Oral drug delivery is a promising approach

Real-time electrical detection of the formation and destruction of lipid bilayers on silicon nanowire devices

Sensing and Bio-Sensing Research, 2015
Silicon nanowire (Si NW) two-terminal devices were fabricated to electrically probe the real-time formation and destruction of lipid bilayers. A liposome solution, containing the same ratio of zwitterionic/anionic lipids that are present in an ...

Polydopamine-Supported Lipid Bilayers

Materials, 2012
We report the formation of lipid membranes supported by a soft polymeric cushion of polydopamine. First, 20 nm thick polydopamine films were formed on mica substrates. Atomic force microscopy imaging indicated that these films were also soft with a surface roughness of 2 nm under hydrated conditions.

Lipid Nanoparticle‐Mediated CRISPR‐Cas13a Delivery for the Control of Bacterial Infection

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 14, Issue 7, March 14, 2025.
New formulations of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) that can deliver nucleic acids to Gram‐negative bacteria are proposed to combat bacterial infection. The delivery of nucleic acids by LNPs is aided by LNP‐helpers which weaken the bacterial outer membrane. LNPs encapsulating the Cas13a/gRNA expression vector achieve an antibacterial effect in both in vivo ...

Effect of charged lipids on the ionization behavior of glutamic acid containing transmembrane helices [PDF]

, 2020
Transmembrane proteins make up critical components of living cells. Protein function can be greatly impacted by the charged state of its respective components, the side chains of amino acid residues.
