Bacterial membranes contain safety valves called mechanosensitive ion channels, which protect the bacterium from changes in the osmotic pressure of their environment. However,...

Myelin is the multilamellar structure that ensheaths axons and accelerates nervous impulses in the nervous system. The fine structure of myelin remains to be further...

Conventional ways to administer and deliver drugs have reached its limitations. These methods can be still used for small and simple molecules. However, new carriers have to be...

The current project aims at elucidating how bile salts (BS) structure influences their interfacial behaviour and their impact on fat digestion. Neutron reflectivity (NR) is the...

Exosomes are released by cells are responsible for cell-cell communication of macromolecules and the development of disease such as cancer. These nanoparticles are loaded with...

Many biological processes occur at the interface of cells, at the so called cell membrane, such as internalization of biological nanoparticles, including virions, exosomes and...

Gram negative (-ve) bacteria possess numerous defenses against antibiotics, not the least of them being the intrinsic permeability barrier afforded by their outer membrane (OM)...

Following our previous study of adsorption of globular lysozyme and BSA, we continue to explore how another globular protein hydrophobin adsorbs at the oil/water interface by...
