Cholesterol-Containing Liposomes Decorated With Au Nanoparticles as Minimal Tunable Fusion Machinery
Francesco Stellacci, Paulo Henrique Jacob Silva, Ester Canepa, Giulia Rossi
Membrane fusion is essential for the basal functionality of eukaryotic cells. In physiological conditions, fusion events are regulated by a wide range of specialized proteins, operating with finely tuned local lipid composition and ionic environment. Fusog ...
WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH2023Hydrogenated amorphous silicon high flux x-ray detectors for synchrotron microbeam radiation therapy
Sylvain Dunand, Matthew James Large, Giulia Rossi
Objective. Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) is an alternative emerging radiotherapy treatment modality which has demonstrated effective radioresistant tumour control while sparing surrounding healthy tissue in preclinical trials. This apparent selectivity ...
IOP Publishing Ltd2023TCAD modelling of a-Si:H devices for particle detection applications
Sylvain Dunand, Luca Massimiliano Antognini, Matthew James Large, Giulia Rossi
Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) has been proposed as a suitable material for particle detection applications thanks to its property to be deposited over a large area and above a variety of different substrates, including flexible materials. Moreove ...
Oxford2023Ion-bridges and lipids drive aggregation of same-charge nanoparticles on lipid membranes
Francesco Stellacci, Zekiye Pelin Güven, Giulia Rossi
The control of the aggregation of biomedical nanoparticles (NP) in physiological conditions is crucial as clustering may change completely the way they interact with the biological environment. Here we show that Au nanoparticles, functionalized by an anion ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2022High-Resolution Photoemission Study of Neutron-Induced Defects in Amorphous Hydrogenated Silicon Devices
Sylvain Dunand, Matthew James Large, Giulia Rossi
In this paper, by means of high-resolution photoemission, soft X-ray absorption and atomic force microscopy, we investigate, for the first time, the mechanisms of damaging, induced by neutron source, and recovering (after annealing) of p-i-n detector devic ...
MDPI2022Cholesterol Hinders the Passive Uptake of Amphiphilic Nanoparticles into Fluid Lipid Membranes
Francesco Stellacci, Matteo Gasbarri, Ester Canepa, Giulia Rossi
Plasma membranes represent pharmacokinetic barriers for the passive transport of site-specific drugs within cells. When engineered nanoparticles (NPs) are considered as transmembrane drug carriers, the plasma membrane composition can affect passive NP inte ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2021Amphiphilic gold nanoparticles perturb phase separation in multidomain lipid membranes
Francesco Stellacci, Ester Canepa, Giulia Rossi
Amphiphilic gold nanoparticles with diameters in the 2-4 nm range are promising as theranostic agents thanks to their spontaneous translocation through cell membranes. This study addresses the effects that these nanoparticles may have on a distinct feature ...
