Bacteria can precisely adjust their membrane lipid compositions to control the biophysical properties of their membranes, which allows them to thrive in various physical environments. Here ...

Cellular membranes are, in general, impermeable to macromolecules (herein referred to as macrodrugs, e.g., recombinant protein, expression plasmids, or mRNA), which is a major barrier for clinical ...

In accordance with our transcriptomic data, we found that treatment with tachyplesin-NBD, caused a strong decrease of phosphatidylglycerol (PG from 37% to 3%, i.e. the main constituent of cardiolipin) ...

Lipid monolayers provide our lungs and eyes their functionality and serve as proxy systems in biomembrane research. Therefore, lipid monolayers have been studied intensively including using molecular ...

Cardiolipin (CL) is a phospholipid with four acyl chains conjugated to two phosphatidylglycerol moieties linked by another glycerol molecule. 14 CL resides almost exclusively in the inner ...
