Using the Water Absorption Ability of Dried Hydrogels to Form Hydrogel-Supported Lipid Bilayers [PDF]
Gels, 2023 The formation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) on hydrogels can act as a biocompatible anti-fouling interface. However, generating continuous and mobile SLBs on materials other than conventional glass or mica remains a significant challenge.

Polymer Supported Lipid Bilayers
Open Journal of Biophysics, 2013 Lipid bilayers are some of the most fascinating self-assembled structure in living nature. Not only do they serve as the protective boundary of cells and their internal organelles, they also organize and host major parts of the biochemical machinery for cellular communication and transmembrane transport.

Ceramide-mediation of diffusion in supported lipid bilayers. [PDF]
Chem Phys Lipids, 2021 The fluidity and compositional heterogeneity of the mammalian plasma membrane play deterministic roles in a variety of membrane functions. Designing model bilayer systems allows for compositional control over these properties. Ceramide is a phospholipid capable of extensive headgroup-region hydrogen bonding, and we report here on the role of ceramide ...
