Liposomes are bilayer vesicles which have found use, among other applications, as drug
delivery vehicles. Conventional techniques for liposome preparation and size reduction …

There is considerable interest in preparing cell‐sized giant unilamellar vesicles from natural
or nonnatural amphiphiles because a giant vesicle membrane resembles the self‐closed …

The bottom‐up construction of a synthetic cell from nonliving building blocks capable of
mimicking cellular properties and behaviors helps to understand the particular biophysical …

To characterize the specificity of ion binding to phospholipids in terms of headgroup
structure, hydration and lyotropic phase behavior we studied 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl …

Long-acting injectable (LAIs) delivery systems sustain the drug therapeutic action in the
body, resulting in reduced dosage regimen, toxicity, and improved patient compliance. Lipid …

This study examined the stability of liposomes loaded with negatively charged protein
(bovine serum albumin, BSA) during in vitro digestion. Zeta-potential and morphology …

Molecular dynamics simulations are performed on two hydrated
dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine bilayer systems: one with pure water and one with added …

The original Hofmeister series concerned the effectiveness of different salts in precipitating
negatively charged proteins. Although the relative position of the species in the series has …

It is known that phosphatidylserine (PS−) lipids have a very similar affinity for Ca 2+ and Mg
2+ cations, as revealed by electrokinetic and stability experiments. However, despite this …

Various metal cations in physiological solutions interact with lipid headgroups in biological
membranes, having an impact on their structure and stability, yet little is known about the …
