The cellular membrane constitutes one of the most fundamental compartments of a living
cell, where key processes such as selective transport of material and exchange of …

α-Lactalbumin (α-LA) is a small (Mr 14,200), acidic (pI 4–5), Ca2+-binding protein. α-LA is a
regulatory component of lactose synthase enzyme system functioning in the lactating …

Theranostic agents should ideally be renally cleared and biodegradable. Here, we report
the synthesis, characterization and theranostic applications of fluorescent ultrasmall gold …

Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) have been the subject of extensive research in the
field of cancer due to their potential role in its prevention and treatment. MUFAs can be …

The interaction between proteins and membranes is of great interest in biomedical and
biotechnological research for its implication in many functional and dysfunctional processes …

Many proteins form complexes called liprotides with oleic acid and other cis-fatty acids
under conditions where the protein is partially unfolded. The complexes vary in structure …

Bovine α‐lactalbumin (aLA) and oleate (OA) form a complex that has been intensively
studied for its tumoricidal activity. Small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS) has revealed that …

A challenging question in evolutionary theory is the origin of cell division and plausible
molecular mechanisms involved. Here, we made the surprising observation that complexes …

Abstract HAMLET (Human Alpha-Lactalbumin Made LEthal to Tumor cells), a complex of
oleic acid (OA) with partially unfolded human α-lactalbumin, shows remarkable toxicity …

Cancer treatment used to be barbarous. The first weapons in the war against cancer, the
nitrogen mustards, were originally developed as weapons of war. Today, cancer treatment is …
