First-order phase transition of the tethered membrane model on spherical surfaces [PDF]

, 2005
We found that three types of tethered surface model undergo a first-order phase transition between the smooth and the crumpled phase. The first and the third are discrete models of Helfrich, Polyakov, and Kleinert, and the second is that of Nambu and ...

Interaction of Oxicam Derivatives with the Artificial Models of Biological Membranes—Calorimetric and Fluorescence Spectroscopic Study

Membranes, 2022
The modified 1,2-benzothiazine analogues designed as new drug candidates and discussed in this paper are oxicam derivatives. Oxicams are a class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Molecularly Engineered Self-Assembling Membranes for Cell-Mediated Degradation [PDF]

, 2015
The use of peptide engineering to develop self-assembling membranes that are responsive to cellular enzyme activities is reported. The membranes are obtained by combining hyaluronan (HA) and a rationally designed peptide amphiphile (PA) containing a ...

Establishment of an Artificial Tick Feeding System to Study Theileria lestoquardi Infection. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
The establishment of good experimental models for Theileria sp. infection is important for theileriosis research. Routinely, infection of ticks is accomplished by feeding on parasite-infected animals (sheep, cows and horses), which raises practical and ...

The Human Antimicrobial Peptides Dermcidin and LL-37 Show Novel Distinct Pathways in Membrane Interactions

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2017
Mammals protect themselves from inflammation triggered by microorganisms through secretion of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). One mechanism by which AMPs kill bacterial cells is perforating their membranes.
