Geometry of lipid vesicle adhesion
, 2002 The adhesion of a lipid membrane vesicle to a fixed substrate is examined from a geometrical point of view. This vesicle is described by the Helfrich hamiltonian quadratic in mean curvature; it interacts by contact with the substrate, with an interaction

Chemical communication between synthetic and natural cells: a possible experimental design [PDF]
, 2013 The bottom-up construction of synthetic cells is one of the most intriguing and interesting research arenas in synthetic biology. Synthetic cells are built by encapsulating biomolecules inside lipid vesicles (liposomes), allowing the synthesis of one or ...

Lipid Droplets as Organelles [PDF]
, 2018 Long considered inert fat storage depots, it has become clear that lipid droplets (LDs) are bona fide organelles. Like other organelles, they have a characteristic complement of proteins and lipids, and undergo a life cycle that includes biogenesis, maturation, interactions with other organelles, and turnover.

A new way of valorizing biomaterials: the use of sunflower protein for 1 a-tocopherol microencapsulation [PDF]
, 2013 Biopolymer based microparticles were efficiently prepared from sunflower protein (SP) wall material and a-tocopherol (T) active core using a spray-drying technique. Protein enzymatic hydrolysis and/or N-acylation were carried out to make some structural

Glucocorticoid Receptor and Adipocyte Biology. [PDF]
, 2018 Glucocorticoids are steroid hormones that play a key role in metabolic adaptations during stress, such as fasting and starvation, in order to maintain plasma glucose levels.

Surface-associated lipid droplets: an intermediate site for lipid transport in human adipocytes?
Adipocyte, 2020 Adipose tissue plays a major role in regulating whole-body energy metabolism. While the biochemical processes regulating storage and release of excess energy are well known, the temporal organization of these events is much less defined.

Lipid droplet–membrane contact sites – from protein binding to function
Journal of Cell Science, 2019 In the general context of an increasing prevalence of obesity-associated diseases, which follows changing paradigms in food consumption and worldwide use of industry-transformed foodstuffs, much attention has been given to the consequences of excessive ...
