The transport of drugs or drug delivery systems across the cell membrane is a complex
biological process, often difficult to understand because of its dynamic nature. In this regard …

This review summarizes recent investigations on the association of macromolecules on lipid
bilayers. Hydrophilic and flexible polymers can form soft coronae tenuously adsorbed or …

Biomimetic systems such as model lipid membranes are vital to many research fields
including synthetic biology, drug discovery and membrane biophysics. One of the most …

A major component of green tea extracts, catechin (—)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg), has
been reported to be biologically active and interacting with membranes. A recent study …

In this article, we report for the first time unusual shape changes of vesicles subjected to
strong electric pulses in salt solutions of low concentration. The electric field is created by …

Oxidation of unsaturated lipids is a fundamental process involved in cell bioenergetics as
well as in cell death. Using giant unilamellar vesicles and a chlorin photosensitizer, we …

The bacterial membrane represents an attractive target for the design of new antibiotics to
combat widespread bacterial resistance. Understanding how antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) …

Daptomycin is a phosphatidylglycerol specific, calcium-dependent membrane-active
antibiotic that has been approved for the treatment of Gram-positive infections. A recent …

Unsaturated lipid oxidation is a fundamental process involved in different aspects of cellular
bioenergetics; dysregulation of lipid oxidation is often associated with cell aging and death …

Photochemical internalization is a drug delivery technology employing a photo-
destabilization of the endosomes and the photo-controlled release of endocyted …
