Polysorbate cationic synthetic vesicle for gene delivery.
Synthetic nonionic surfactant vesicles (niosomes) are a colloidal system with closed bilayer structures, displaying distinct advantages in stability and cost compared with liposomes. In this article, polysorbate cationic niosomes (PCNs) were developed as gene carriers. The PCNs comprised nonionic surfactants (i.e., polysorbates) and a cationic cholesterol, and were synthesized using a film hydr...
متن کاملVesicle budding induced by a pore-forming peptide.
We describe, in a system whose uniqueness is that the presence of pores allows the volume to vary as budding proceeds, how phase separation on the surface of spheres extrudes material in the process called "budding". The system is giant phospholipid vesicles (GUVs) containing phase-separated regions of DOPC (soft, liquid) and DPPC (stiff, gel), with cholesterol and without it. Budding is trigge...
متن کاملCationic triple-chain amphiphiles facilitate vesicle fusion compared to double-chain or single-chain analogues.
Cationic, triple-chain amphiphiles promote vesicle fusion more than structurally related double-chain or single-chain analogues. Two types of vesicle fusion experiments were conducted, mixing of oppositely charged vesicles and acid-triggered self-fusion of vesicles composed of cationic amphiphile and anionic cholesteryl hemisuccinate (CHEMS). Vesicle fusion was monitored by standard fluorescenc...
متن کاملSynthetic Turing protocells: vesicle self-reproduction through symmetry-breaking instabilities.
The reproduction of a living cell requires a repeatable set of chemical events to be properly coordinated. Such events define a replication cycle, coupling the growth and shape change of the cell membrane with internal metabolic reactions. Although the logic of such process is determined by potentially simple physico-chemical laws, modelling of a full, self-maintained cell cycle is not trivial....
متن کاملSelective phosphatidylethanolamine translocation across vesicle membranes using synthetic translocases.
Two sulfonamide derivatives of tris(aminoethyl)amine selectively facilitate the translocation of a fluorescent phospholipid probe containing the phosphoethanolamine head-group across vesicle membranes.
