methods mycobacterium tuberculosis standard strain crbip7.11 was cultured at 37°c in loewenstein johnson (lj) media for 3-4 weeks. to confirm the species, standard microbiological and biochemical tests were performed. after preparation of membrane vesicles, the amount of protein in membrane vesicles was measured by sds-page and nanodrop. to analyze the integrity and morphology of extracellular ...

Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUVs) consisting in self-closed lipid bilayers of 0.5-100 µm diameter are considered as oversimplified models of cells because of their biological membrane and micrometric size while Large Unilamellar Vesicles (LUVs) of 100-500 nm diameter have applications in drug delivery. To improve structural and mechanical properties of these vesicles, we have developed two cate...

in this work we sought to determine whether vesicles (liposomes/niosomes) were able to enhance finasteride concentration in the dermis layer, including the pilosebaceous units (psu). such enhancement could be beneficial in the treatment of some androgen-related skin disorders. hamster flank skin was used to study  3hfinasteride permeation via vesicles and a hydroalcoholic solution (ha). the dru...

seminal vesicles (svs) are sex accessory organs and part of male genitourinary system. they play a critical role in male fertility. diseases of the svs, usually results in infertility. diseases of the svs are extremely rare and are infrequently reported in the literature. we address the current literature of sv pathologies, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options. we review the clinical impo...

It was recently shown that oligolamellar vesicles of 3:1 mixtures of dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) and the photopolymerizable lipid 1,2-bis[10-(2',4'-hexadienoyloxy)decanoyl]-sn-glycero-3-phosphocho line (SorbPC) are destabilized by polymerization of the SorbPC [Lamparski, H., Liman, U., Frankel, D.A., Barry, J.A., Ramaswami, V., Brown, M.F., & O'Brien, D.F.
