Here, we review different classes of polymer-supported lipid membrane and the various ... The second approach we will cover aims to electrochemically detect membrane-protein function by using ...

Lipids are amphiphilic molecules derived from organisms, and have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties ... lipids modified by the hydrophilic polymer, polyethylene glycol (PEG) (Figure ...

First, we adopted model membranes to investigate the lipid-lipid interplay in microdomains so-called ‘lipid rafts’. Next, we elucidated an essential role of water molecules in the state-of-art ...

They consist of a double layer ("bilayer") of lipids that contain a hydrophilic head group and generally two long, hydrophobic tails. Whereas the head groups face outwards, the hydrophobic tail ...

Researchers outline their improved lipid-polymer nanoparticle for holding mRNA that is stable when nebulized and successfully delivers aerosols (liquid droplets) into mice's lungs. mRNA medicines ...

Gamma Biosciences has announced an initiative through its subsidiary, Mirus Bio, to develop lipid-polymer nanocomplexes for improve mRNA delivery solutions. Gamma Biosciences announced on March 22, ...

The need to improve the pharmacological properties of biomolecular therapeutics led to the development of nanocarriers. Those nanocarriers, however, can face challenges when loading disparate ...

Solvent-free compounding of nanocellulose into polymers. Homogenous mixture of hydrophilic nanocellulose and hydrophobic polymer. Purdue University is a top public research institution developing ...

Hydrophobic: Molecules or surfaces that cannot ... As the name indicates, the polymer dissolves away during normal vessel operation releasing the compound tributyltin (TBT) and also making the surface ...
