The multiple faces of self-assembled lipidic systems
Lipids, the building blocks of cells, common to every living organisms, have the propensity to self-assemble into well-defined structures over short and long-range spatial scales. The driving forces have their roots mainly in the hydrophobic effect and electrostatic interactions. Membranes in lamellar phase are ubiquitous in cellular compartments and can phase-separate upon mixing lipids in dif...
متن کاملSelf-assembled lamellar complexes of siRNA with lipidic aminoglycoside derivatives promote efficient siRNA delivery and interference.
RNA interference requires efficient delivery of small double-stranded RNA molecules into the target cells and their subsequent incorporation into RNA-induced silencing complexes. Although current cationic lipids commonly used for DNA transfection have also been used for siRNA transfection, a clear need still exists for better siRNA delivery to improve the gene silencing efficiency. We synthesiz...
متن کاملMultiple faces of narcissistic leadership in Medical Education
Narcissism, being the critical part of the toxic leadership paradigm,has its own impact in the education sphere. Contrastingly,leader’s narcissism cannot be simply underweighted because suchleaders often tend to be creative strategists who can take riskychallenges to suffice the self-ego and leave behind a legacy aswell. This commentary intends to portray the complex mosaic ofthe positive and n...
متن کاملLinear Self - Assembled Systems and the Effect of Capping Defects
Molecularself-assemblyplaysan important role inmany systems, ranging from zeolites1 to biological systems2-4 andmodified surfaces.5 Ofparticular interest are systems that assemble into single-molecule thick fibers that may be millimetres in extent. Such linear self-assembled supramolecular structureshave technological importance in the areas of molecular fibers,3,6-11 wires,12,13 and channels.1...
متن کاملUncertainty in Manufacture and Assembly of Multiple-Joint Solder Self-Assembled Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS)
Surface-micromachined microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are two dimensional in their “as fabricated” form. Surface-micromachined MEMS can be assembled after fabrication to realize systems with a more three-dimensional form and function. One reliable method of assembly, suited to commercial mass production, is to use the surface tension of microsized droplets of molten solder to assemble the...
