Treatment of experimental eye inflammation with a single subconjunctival injection of liposomal steroid
Non-infectious anterior uveitis is an inflammatory condition in the front of the eye that can potentially lead to blindness. The current gold standard for treatment is with steroid eyedrops. However, this treatment has several disadvantages. Very little
Biophysical modulation of lipid model membranes by cobalt and nickel
Cobalt (Co) and Nickel (Ni) are important industrial metals used in the manufacture of a variety of everyday products. Additionally, Co is an essential trace element for humans, involved in the structure and function of vitamin B12.
Preferential binding of Inorganic Mercury to specific lipids and its competition with Cadmium
Mercury is a heavy metal with well-established toxicity that exists in several forms in the environment including elemental, organic and inorganic mercury (Hg), which is the metal form of interest in this study. In addition to toxic
Centrifugal capillary-based microfluidic methods for synthesis of artificial cell-like systems
For decades, researchers have attempted to construct artificial cell – like systems using biomolecules such as DNA, RNA, proteins, and lipids. Artificial cell – like systems are microcapsules constructed from giant liposomes or water-in-oil (W/O) microdroplets that
Channels in artificial membranes
Proteins come in a variety of shapes and sizes but two major classes exist: soluble proteins and those reside in membranes. 20-30% of all the proteins found in cells are membrane proteins. Many membrane proteins such as
