The third edition of this besteller covers the latest advancements in this rapidly growing field.
Focusing on analyses and critical evaluation of the subject, this new edition reviews the …

Lung surfactant lines the gas-exchange interface in the lungs and reduces the surface
tension, which is necessary for breathing. Lung surfactant consists mainly of lipids with a …

We used computer simulations to study the effect of phase separation on the properties of
lipid monolayers. This is important for understanding the lipid–lipid interactions underlying …

Demixing of components has long been described in model membranes. It is a
consequence of non-ideal lateral interactions between membrane components, and it …

Lipid-coated microbubbles are being developed for a variety of biomedical applications in
imaging and therapy. In order to better understand microbubble stability and in vivo fate, it is …

Abstract Sticholysin I (St I) is a pore-forming toxin (PFT) produced by the Caribbean Sea
anemone Stichodactyla helianthus belonging to the actinoporin protein family, a unique …

In recent years, hopanoids, a group of pentacyclic compounds found in bacterial
membranes, are in the spotlight since it was proposed that they induce order in lipid …

In the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells, proteins and lipids are organized in clusters,
the latter ones often called lipid domains or “lipid rafts.” Recent findings highlight the …

The diffusion and mobility in biomembranes are crucial for various cell functions; however,
the mechanisms involved in such processes remain ambiguous due to the complex …

The dynamic surface properties of solutions of pulmonary surfactant (PS) were investigated
at various temperatures and in a broad range of surface tensions. The efficient dynamic …
