Exploring the Impact of Lipid Domain Size on the Lifetime: A Dissipative Particle Dynamics Study
East European Journal of Physics, 2023 In this research, we have used the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD), a mesoscopic simulation technique, in order to investigate the dynamics of lipid domains in near critical temperature. Our specific focus has been on exploring the influence of lipid

The influence of solid scaffolds on flat and curved lipid membranes
AIP Advances, 2017 Solid-supported membranes have become a common tool to study lipid membrane properties in a controlled environment. One particular example is the study of membrane curvature and its effect on lipid sorting.

The physics of stratum corneum lipid membranes [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2015 The stratum corneum (SC), the outermost layer of skin, comprises rigid corneocytes (keratin-filled dead cells) in a specialized lipid matrix. The continuous lipid matrix provides the main barrier against uncontrolled water loss and invasion of external ...

Regulation of ferroptosis by lipid metabolism.
Trends in Cell Biology, 2023 Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent lethal mechanism that can be activated in disease and is a proposed target for cancer therapy. Ferroptosis is defined by the overwhelming accumulation of membrane lipid peroxides.

Impact of Selected Small-Molecule Kinase Inhibitors on Lipid Membranes
Pharmaceuticals, 2021 Small-molecule protein kinase inhibitors are used for the treatment of various diseases. Although their effect(s) on the respective kinase are generally quite well understood, surprisingly, their interaction with membranes is only barely investigated ...

Interplay Between Membrane Adhesion and Distribution of Lipid Rafts
SurfacesAdhesion of cell membranes is relevant to many biological processes and arises from the specific binding of membrane-anchored receptor proteins to their ligands present in the apposing membrane.
