Encapsulants Affect Liposome Surface Interactions with Biological Systems
This study demonstrates how dyes encapsulated in liposomes, lipid bilayer nanostructures with an inner aqueous core, affect liposome surface chemistry and interactions with biological matrices. This is achieved by investigating the effects of dye interactions with liposomal membranes using spectroscopy, small‐angle X‐ray scattering, and a bioassay ...

Nanomedicine for Oral Delivery: Strategies to Overcome the Biological Barriers
Oral delivery is a preferred administration route for many clinical applications, valued for its strong patient compliance. In this review, how nanoparticles are engineered and deployed to overcome the gastrointestinal barriers that impede clinical translation of oral delivery formulations is examined.

Investigating Impacts of Amino Acids on the Structural Stability of Anionic Biomembranes
Glycine and lysine interact with the anionic membrane composed of POPC and POPG (1 : 1). Lysine partitions into the membrane and induces structural alterations, while the membrane remains impermeable to it. In contrast, glycine causes no physicochemical damage and permeates through the membrane.

Cooperative Function of Atg8‐ and TORC1‐Mediated Activities in Yeast
The atg8Δ mutant is sensitive to rapamycin, and both lipidation‐dependent and ‐independent functions of Atg8 are necessary for survival during impaired TORC1 activity. Atg8‐ and TORC1‐mediated functions may contribute to maintaining vacuolar functions.

Leptogenic effects of NAPE require activity of NAPE-hydrolyzing phospholipase D
Food intake induces synthesis of N-acylphosphatidylethanolamines (NAPEs) in the intestinal tract. While NAPEs exert leptin-like (leptogenic) effects, including reduced weight gain and food intake, the mechanisms by which NAPEs induce these leptogenic ...
