Deformability of multilamellar vesicles.
Although a free unilamellar vesicle has zero or almost zero genuine surface tension, the multilamellar vesicle ("onion") exhibits a nonzero effective surface tension sigma(eff). The expression for sigma(eff) used in the literature is sigma(eff) approximately square root of kappaB/d(0), where B is the interaction modulus between the vesicle bilayers, d(0) the repeating distance between the bilay...
متن کاملLipidic nanocapsule drug delivery: neuronal protection for cochlear implant optimization
OBJECTIVE Sensorineural hearing loss leads to the progressive degeneration of spiral ganglion cells (SGC). Next to postoperative fibrous tissue growth, which should be suppressed to assure a close nerve-electrode interaction, the density of healthy SGC is one factor that influences the efficiency of cochlear implants (CI), the choice of treatment for affected patients. Rolipram, a phosphodieste...
متن کاملTension and solute depletion in multilamellar vesicles.
We show that a metastable multilamellar vesicle ("onion"), in contact with excess solvent, can spontaneously deplete solute molecules from its interior through an unusual, entropy-driven mechanism. Fluctuation entropy is gained as the uneven partition of solute molecules helps the onion relieve tension in its lamellae. This mechanism accounts for recent experiments on the interaction between un...
متن کاملImage Guided Biodistribution of Drugs and Drug Delivery
Image guided technique is playing an increasingly important role in the investigation of the biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of drugs or drug delivery systems. The application of these new materials and techniques with combined properties of diagnosis and therapy can benefit the development of targeted drug delivery system and modern personalized medicine This special issue provides an up-...
متن کاملPolyelectrolyte-induced peeling of charged multilamellar vesicles.
We study mixtures of charged surfactants, which alone in solution form uni- and multilamellar vesicles, and oppositely charged polyelectrolytes (PEs). The phase behavior is investigated at fixed surfactant concentration as a function of the PE-to-surfactant charge ratio, x. We find that, for x > 0, aggregates form. Light microscopy and X-ray scattering experiments show that the isoelectric poin...
