Analysis of the shape fluctuations of reconstituted membranes using GUVs made from lipid extracts of invertebrates

Biology Open, 2013
Summary Changes in the physical properties of the lipid matrix of cell membranes have repeatedly been proposed to underlie stresses associated with e.g. drought, cold and xenobiotics.

Cell Membrane Vesicle Camouflaged Artificial Cells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Artificial cells camouflaged with a cell membrane vesicle coating are able to assemble into synthetic aggregates that exhibit rudimentary communication capabilities. Additionally, when these artificial cells are equipped with antioxidant capabilities, they are able to protect the intracellular homeostasis in HepG2 cells present in semi‐synthetic ...

Transmembrane Activation of Catalysis and Protein Refolding in Synthetic Cells by Enzymes and Nanozymes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Synthetic cells are engineered herein to respond to an external chemical messenger by the activation of intracellular catalysis. The chemical messenger molecules are catalytically generated by an extracellular enzyme or a mineral surface, whereas the intracellular catalysis emerges via direct enzyme activation or via protein refolding.

Electrical Monitoring of Vibrio vulnificus–Host Cell Membrane Interactions in Simple and Complex Matrices

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Supported lipid bilayers coupled with multielectrode array devices offer significant promise for pathogen–host cell membrane interaction studies. This work demonstrates, for the first time, the compatibility of this platform with biological fluids, in this case whole human blood, essential for any future point‐of‐care applications; as well as its ...

Cholesterol protects phosphatidylcholine liposomes from N,N-dimethyldodekanamine N-oxide influence

Acta Chimica Slovenica, 2015
The interaction of N,N-dimethyldodekanamine N-oxide (C12(CH3)2NO) with egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (EYPC) liposomes containing cholesterol (CHOL) in molar ratios nCHOL:nEYPC = 0-0,8 was studied.

Elasticity‐Driven Nanomechanical Interaction to Improve the Targeting Ability of Lipid Nanoparticles in the Malignant Tumor Microenvironment

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 ...

Liposome Disruption Assay to Examine Lytic Properties of Biomolecules

Bio-Protocol, 2017
Proteins may have three dimensional structural or amino acid features that suggest a role in targeting and disrupting lipids within cell membranes. It is often necessary to experimentally investigate if these proteins and biomolecules are able to disrupt
