Natural and bionic neuronal membranes: possible sites for quantum biology [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 A new concept for bionic quantum technology is presented based on a hybrid of a silicon wafer on which is layered a phospholipid membrane, such as is found in biological cell membranes. The phosphorus atoms in the head groups of the membranes carry nuclear spins which serve as memory qubits. The role of control qubits may be played by unpaired spins of

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The elasticity of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) is essential to their tumor‐targeting efficacy. Softer LNPs penetrate tumors faster and more easily enter into softer cancer cells, while stiffer LNPs show prolonged retention in stiffer tumors. The presence of protumoral M2 macrophages enhances the LNPs uptake into stiffer cancer cells, facilitating ...

DFT-based Conformational Analysis of a Phospholipid Molecule (DMPC) [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 The conformational space of the dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) molecule has been studied using Density Functional Theory (DFT), augmented with a damped empirical dispersion energy term (DFT-D). Fourteen ground-state isomers have been found with total energies within less than 1 kcal/mol.

Dysregulation of of phospholipid-specific phagocytosis by B1 B cells in diet-induced obese mice [PDF]
, 2016 B1 B cells have received increasing attention recently due to their newly discovered phagocytic and microbicidal capabilities. Several studies have demonstrated that B1 cells can phagocytize polystyrene fluorescent particles, bacteria (Staphylococcus ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Schematic model of CJP–TiN liposomes for gastric cancer (GC) treatment. Internalizing RGD peptide (iRGD) targets tumor cells, while Chlorin e6 (Ce6) generates reactive oxygen species (ROS). Jolkinolide B (JB) activates the PANoptosis pathway via caspase‐8, enhancing GC cell death and immune response, transforming “cold tumors” into “hot tumors” by ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.CXCL6's function in cholangiocarcinoma is underexplored. Here it is discovered that CXCL6 is upregulated in cholangiocarcinoma tissues and promotes proliferation and metastasis of it. CXCL6 functions through the CXCR1/2‐JAK‐STAT/PI3K axis and reshaping tumor lipid metabolism.
