large unilamellar liposomes and multilamellar vesicles consisting of dmpc interacted with cationic phosphorus-containing dendrimers cpds g3 and g4. dsc and ζ -potential measurements have shown that liposomal-dendrimeric molecular recognition occurs due to the interaction between the complementary surface groups. calorimetric studies indicate that the enthalpy of the transition of the lipids tha...

A novel photo-responsive nano-container was successfully constructed based on well-defined vesicles formed by an amphiphilic overcrowded alkene switch. The nano-container could adjust its inner volume in reversible photo/heat controlled mode, which could show potential in remote drug delivery systems.

Membrane deformation of nano-vesicles is crucial in many cellular processes such as virus entry into the host cell, membrane fusion, and endo- and exocytosis; however, studying the deformation of sub-100 nm soft vesicles is very challenging using the conventional techniques. In this paper, we report detecting co-translocational deformation of individual 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine ...

Munc13-1 is a large banana-shaped soluble protein that involved in the regulation of synaptic vesicle docking and fusion. Recent studies suggest multiple copies form nano-assemblies active zones neurons. However, it not known whether such clustering correlated with multivalent binding to vesicles or specific plasma membrane domains at sites zone. The functional significance putative also unknow...

This work was aimed to improve the efficacy of tacrolimus in treatment endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU) using propylene glycol modified lipid vesicles termed as proglycosome nano-vesicles (PNVs). PNVs were prepared by film hydration method. Experimental rabbit eye induced an intravitreal injection 20 ?L endotoxin solution containing 100 ng lipopolysaccharide endotoxin. In vivo determined studyin...

Front Cover: This special issue is dedicated to commemorate Wolfgang P. Meier, who had significant contributions in the fields of amphiphilic copolymer syntheses and their hierarchical self-assembly, block vesicles (so-called polymersomes), hybrid membranes. The self-assembly molecules generating nano- or micro-assemblies (membranes, micelles, vesicles, nanoparticles) that can be combined with ...
