High throughput wide field second harmonic imaging of giant unilamellar vesicles

Sylvie Roke, Maksim Eremchev, David Roesel, Pierre-Marc Jean Marie Dansette

Cell-sized giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are an ideal tool for understanding lipid membrane structure and properties. Label-free spatiotemporal images of their membrane potential and structure would greatly aid the quantitative understanding of membran ...

Shear Stress-Responsive Polymersome Nanoreactors Inspired by the Marine Bioluminescence of Dinoflagellates

Esther Amstad, Antoine Claude Jean Vian

Some marine plankton called dinoflagellates emit light in response to the movement of surrounding water, resulting in a phenomenon called milky seas or sea sparkle. The underlying concept, a shear-stress induced permeabilisation of biocatalytic reaction co ...

Stable Ultraconcentrated and Ultradilute Colloids of CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br) Nanocrystals Using Natural Lecithin as a Capping Ligand

Francesco Stellacci, Quy Ong Khac

Attaining thermodynamic stability of colloids in a broad range of concentrations has long been a major thrust in the field of colloidal ligand-capped semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs). This challenge is particularly pressing for the novel NCs of cesium lead ...

Drug-induced increase in lysobisphosphatidic acid reduces the cholesterol overload in Niemann-Pick type C cells and mice

Jonathan Paz Montoya, Marc Moniatte

Most cells acquire cholesterol by endocytosis of circulating low-density lipoproteins (LDLs). After cholesteryl ester de-esterification in endosomes, free cholesterol is redistributed to intracellular membranes via unclear mechanisms. Our previous work sug ...

Dissipative particle dynamics simulations of tri-block co-polymer and water: Phase diagram validation and microstructure identification

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

In this study, the phase diagram of Pluronic L64 and water is simulated via dissipative particle dynamics (DPD). The peculiar structures that form when the concentration varies from dilute to dense (i.e., spherical and rod-like micelles, hexagonal and lame ...

Nanoparticle Liposome Interactions

Zekiye Pelin Güven

Protein-mimetic materials are of great interest for biotechnology to grant protein-like properties to artificial systems. Additionally, these materials can be used to shed light on the fundamental properties of proteins in many environments. Nanoparticles, ...

Chemo-manipulation of tumor blood vessels by a metal-based anticancer complex enhances antitumor therapy

Paul Joseph Dyson, Hubert van den Bergh, Tina Riedel

Human pleural mesothelioma is an incurable and chemoresistant cancer. Using a nude mouse xenograft model of human pleural mesothelioma, we show that RAPTA-T, a compound undergoing preclinical evaluation, enhances tumor vascular function by decreasing blood ...
