This important study characterizes the mechanics and stability of bolalipids from archaeal membranes using molecular dynamics simulations. A mesoscale model of bolalipids is presented and evaluated ...

The phospholipid bilayer nanodiscs (LNDs), as a rapidly-developing tool in recent years ... Guo et al., has generated LNDs from cancer cell membrane with enhancement of lipid-based adjuvant as cancer ...

Eating foods high in key nutrients, including iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12, and limiting alcohol may help increase your red blood cell count. Red blood cells are the most common cells in ...

Scientists at the University of Stuttgart have succeeded in controlling the structure and function of biological membranes with the help of "DNA origami". The system they developed may facilitate the ...

2 Endosymbiotic events are believed to have led to the development of membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria. Thanks to mitochondria, eukaryotic ancestors had enough energy to develop into the ...

Now, engineers at Rice University in the United States have developed a method that promises to produce stable, efficient bilayer perovskite solar cells. The scientists found the appropriate ...

The composition of the membrane proteins hence bears the signature of the cells from which they originate ... are a type of proteins that are partially or completely embedded in a phospholipid bilayer ...

specifically binds phosphatidic acid commonly present within the inner leaflet of plasma membranes, and potently disrupts liposomes composed of phosphatidic acid by forming pores. Microinjection of ...

Although membranes are postulated to be one of the cellular targets for silybin, little is known about its interaction with phospholipid bilayers. In the present work, the interactions of silybin ...
