Sheep milk has a high nutritional value and high concentrations of proteins, fats, minerals,
and vitamins, as compared to the milks of other domestic species. The physicochemical and …

Due to their amphipathicity fatty acids and lysolipids incorporate into lipid membranes and
may hence exert an effect on membrane permeability, morphology, and stability. Several …

The physical properties of the lamellar lipid‐bilayer component of biological membranes are
controlled by a host of thermodynamic forces leading to overall tensionless bilayers with a …

Colloidal and interfacial phenomena lie at the core of drug formulation, drug delivery, as well
as drug binding and action at diseased sites, eg, in cancer therapy. We review a class of …

All living cells, prokaryotic and eukaryotic, have a plasma membrane that encloses their
contents and serves as a semi-porous barrier to the outside environment. The basic matrix of …

Our picture of lipid membranes has come a long way since Gorter and Grendel in 1925
formulated the lipid bilayer hypothesis. Most modern textbook models of membranes are …

Because of the amphipathicity and conical molecular shape of fatty acids, they can efficiently
incorporate into lipid membranes and disturb membrane integrity, chain packing, and lateral …

Molecular shape and its impact on bilayer curvature stress are powerful concepts for
describing the effects of lipids and fatty acids on fundamental membrane properties, such as …

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) possess anti-cancer action both in vitro and in vivo. In
the present study, we detected cell viability with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay and …

Abstract Droplet Interface Bilayers (DIBs) constitute a commonly used model of artificial
membranes for synthetic biology research applications. However, their practical use is often …
