Can pulsed electromagnetic fields trigger on-demand drug release from high-tm magnetoliposomes? [PDF]
Recently, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been used to trigger drug release from magnetoliposomes through a magneto-nanomechanical approach, where the mechanical actuation of the MNPs is used to enhance the membrane permeability.

An efficient synthesis of phosphatidylcholines.
This article deals with two of the major steps involved in phospholipid synthesis: the preparation of the optically pure precursors, sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (GPC) and -ethanolamine, from a convenient lipid source such as egg yolk, and acylation of hydroxyl groups present in those precursors involving an acid to yield the corresponding phospholipid.

Lecithin Alleviates Memory Deficits and Muscle Attenuation in Chinese Older Adults and SAMP8 Mice
This study opens a new avenue for safeguarding cognition and muscle health, averting disability in older age, and treating age‐related pathologies through lecithin supplementation. It serves as a promising nonpharmacological intervention for the crosstalk of muscle and cognition.

Neutral polyphosphocholine-modified liposomes as boundary superlubricants [PDF]
Boundary lubrication is associated with two sliding molecularly thin lubricated film-coated surfaces, where the energy dissipation occurs at the slip-plane between lubricated films. The hydration lubrication paradigm, which accounts for ultralow friction in aqueous media, has been extended to various systems, with phosphatidylcholine (PC) lipids ...

A Supramolecular Material for Controlling Kiwifruit Bacterial Canker
The matrine‐5‐methylsalicylic acid salt (MOS) is reported for its excellent antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa), with advanced cell membrane penetration ability and strong affinities for potential targets. Furthermore, a nanosupramolecular delivery system MOS@hydroxypropyl‐beta‐cyclodextrin (HPCD) with improved ...

Partitioning of 1-alkanols in composite raft-like lipid membrane [PDF]
Though 1-alkanols are well known to have anesthetic properties, the mode of operation remains enigmatic. We perform extensive atomistic molecular dynamics simulation to study the partitioning of 1- alkanols of different chain-lengths in raft-like model membrane made up of mixture of unsaturated dioleoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DOPC) and saturated ...

Momentum-Resolved Sum-Frequency Vibrational Spectroscopy of Bonded Interface Layer at Charged Water Interfaces [PDF]
Interface-specific hydrogen- (H-)bonding network of water next to a substrate (including air) directly controls the energy transfer and chemical reaction pathway at many charged aqueous interfaces. Yet, experimental characterization of such bonded water layer structure is still a challenge due to the presence of the ion diffuse layer.
