The poor water solubility and bioavailability of curcumin can be improved by encapsulating it
into liposomes. However, the existing encapsulation technologies, such as the thin film …

Fractals have been very successful in quantifying nature's geometrical complexity, and have
captured the imagination of scientific community. The development of fractal dimension and …

As a result of their unique physical properties, biological membrane mimetics, such as
liposomes, are used in a broad range of scientific and technological applications …

In pure water, zwitterionic lipids form lamellar phases with an equilibrium water gap on the
order of 2 to 3 nm as a result of the dominating van der Waals attraction between dipolar …

Using a surface force balance, we measured normal and shear interactions as a function of
surface separation between layers of hydrogenated soy phosphatidylcholine (HSPC) small …

Liposomes show promise as biolubricants for damaged cartilage, but their small size results
in low joint and cartilage retention. We developed a zinc ion-based liposomal drug delivery …

The seminal plasma (SP) is the liquid component of semen that facilitates sperm transport
through the female genital tract. SP modulates the activity of the ovary, oviductal …

DPPC/Cholesterol liposomes of average diameter below 100nm were used as a matrix for
calcium carbonate precipitation. Adsorption of calcium ions on the vesicles was determined …

Mixtures of dimyristoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DMPC), dimyristoyl-phosphatidylglycerol
(DMPG) and dihexanoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DHPC) in aqueous solutions spontaneously …

Mechanosensitive liposomes were prepared and applied to continuously accelerate the
glucose oxidase (GO) reaction in shear flow. The liposome membrane was composed of a …
