Pulmonary surfactants consist of phospholipids and the hydrophobic proteins surfactant protein B and surfactant protein C. ... Surfactant protein B interacts with lipid vesicles, ...

The scientists found that the surfactant type, amount, and added timing were important parameters for increasing final purification yield. Finally, Sato and Nomura confirmed that the purified ...

Vesicle signaling system could deliver drugs on command. ... The surfactant causes the lipid bilayer to become permeable, allowing the cargo molecules to escape.

AGS Therapeutics’ vesicles from Chlorella vulgaris take the take roads less traveled by, and that can make all the difference Nanovesicles are a popular way to deliver therapeutics, but ...

Surfactants, or 'surface-active agents' are a class of chemical compounds that are used in everyday objects such as soaps and cleaning products, as emulsifiers, foaming and wetting agents.

While the release of neurotransmitters from vesicles is speedy, we always thought vesicle formation was slow. It turns out that vesicle formation can zip along much faster than we thought.
