Under the view of the electron microscope, the outsides of the lipid bilayer show up as two darker layers, whereas the hydrophobic interior stains less densely, thus showing three apparent "layers ...

They are semi-permeable, which means that some molecules can diffuse across the lipid bilayer but others cannot. Small hydrophobic molecules and gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide cross ...

1,2 Liposomes are spherical vesicles formed by one or more lipid bilayers surrounding an aqueous core. This structure allows them to encapsulate both hydrophilic drugs (in the aqueous core) and ...

This important study characterizes the mechanics and stability of bolalipids from archaeal membranes using molecular dynamics simulations. A mesoscale model of bolalipids is presented and evaluated ...

To date, these carriers have predominantly relied on amphiphilicity as the key property enabling them to cross the lipid ...

It consists of a lipid bilayer with hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails, along with various proteins. The plasma membrane has distinct regions called membrane microdomains, which have ...
