Lipid mesophase alignment induced by nanoparticles: Mesophase determination a...
At a recent experiment at the ILL using D22, we made an incidental observation that addition of hydrophilic silica (SiO2) nanoparticles (NP; D~14 nm) induced alignment in the... -
Understanding Phospho-L-Serine (PS) role in the Organization of Cholesterol C...
Our goal is to understand the role of POPS, a lipid component only found in the inner leaflet of plasma membrane, in the organization of cholesterol in cell membranes. Our... -
Intra-membrane lipid flipping in model lipid membranes
Lipid compositional variation across the cell's membranes as well as asymmetry between two contiguous monolayers in the same membrane are critical for alive and healthy cells....
