Reynolds number effects on lipid vesicles
Vesicles exposed to the human circulatory system experience a wide range of flows and Reynolds numbers. Previous investigations of vesicles in fluid flow have focused on the Stokes flow regime. In this work the influence of inertia on the dynamics of a vesicle in a shearing flow is investigated using a novel level-set computational method in two dimensions. A detailed analysis of the behaviour ...
متن کاملSurfactant lipid peroxidation damages surfactant protein A and inhibits interactions with phospholipid vesicles.
The goal of these studies was to examine the effect of lipid peroxidation (LPO) on the function of surfactant protein A (SP-A). First, the optimal dialysis conditions for quantitative removal of EDTA and redoxactive metals from reagents were established. Surfactant phospholipids were incubated with free radical generators in the absence or presence of the SP-A or with BSA as a control. We found...
متن کاملEffects of Lipid Composition and Solution Conditions on the Mechanical Properties of Membrane Vesicles
The mechanical properties of cell-sized giant unilamellar liposomes were studied by manipulating polystyrene beads encapsulated within the liposomes using double-beam laser tweezers. Mechanical forces were applied to the liposomes from within by moving the beads away from each other, which caused the liposomes to elongate. Subsequently, a tubular membrane projection was generated in the tip at ...
متن کاملInfluence of Surfactant and Lipid Type on the Physicochemical Properties and Biocompatibility of Solid Lipid Nanoparticles
Nine types of solid lipid nanoparticle (SLN) formulations were produced using tripalmitin (TPM), glyceryl monostearate (GM) or stearic acid (SA), stabilized with lecithin S75 and polysorbate 80. Formulations were prepared presenting PI values within 0.25 to 0.30, and the physicochemical properties, stability upon storage and biocompatibility were evaluated. The average particle size ranged from...
متن کاملEffect of extrusion pressure and lipid properties on the size and polydispersity of lipid vesicles.
The production of vesicles, spherical shells formed from lipid bilayers, is an important aspect of their recent application to drug delivery technologies. One popular production method involves pushing a lipid suspension through cylindrical pores in polycarbonate membranes. However, the actual mechanism by which the polydisperse, multilamellar lipid suspension breaks up into a relatively monodi...
