Polymeric micelles (PMs) have made significant progress in drug delivery applications. A
robust core–shell structure, kinetic stability and the inherent ability to solubilize hydrophobic …

Colloids from an aqueous suspension can cross the skin barrier only through hydrophilic
pathways. Various colloids have a different ability to do this by penetrating narrow pores of …

Nanoparticulate phospholipid bilayer disks were assembled from phospholipid and a class
of amphipathic helical proteins termed membrane scaffold proteins (MSP). Several different …

Multiple data are available on the self-assembly of mixtures of bilayer-forming amphiphiles,
particularly phospholipids and micelle-forming amphiphiles, commonly denoted detergents …

Phospholipid bilayer Nanodiscs are novel model membranes derived from high-density
lipoprotein particles and have proven to be useful in studies of membrane proteins …

Amphiphilic AB and ABA block copolymers have been demonstrated to form a variety of self-
assembled aggregate structures in dilute solutions where the solvent preferentially solvates …

Surfactants are surface-active, amphiphilic compounds that are water-soluble in the micro-to
millimolar range, and self-assemble to form micelles or other aggregates above a critical …

Integral membrane proteins (IMPs) fulfill important physiological functions by providing cell–
environment, cell–cell and virus–host communication; nutrients intake; export of toxic …

A simulated in vitro digestion model was used to elucidate the impact of dietary fibers on the
digestion rate of emulsified lipids. The influence of polysaccharide type (chitosan (cationic) …

Although aqueous solutions are considered to be sustainable, environmentally friendly
reaction media, their use is often limited by poor reactant solubility. This limitation can be …
