Rapid preparation of giant unilamellar vesicles ( liposomes / encapsulation / proteoliposomes / transport )
We report here a rapid evaporation method that produces in high yield giant unilamellar vesicles up to 50 ,um in diameter. The vesicles are obtained after only 2 min and can be prepared from different phospholipids, including L-a-phosphatidylcholine (lecithin), dipalmitoleoyl L-aphosphatidylcholine, and fJ-arachidonoyl y-palmitoyl L-aphosphatidylcholine. Vesicles can be produced in distilled wa...
متن کاملMagnetically immobilized nanoporous giant proteoliposomes as a platform for biosensing.
We report a biosensing method that is based on magnetically immobilized functional liposomes. The vesicles encapsulate magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) and enzymatic sensing reagents. Magnetic attraction between MNP and external magnets first immobilizes liposomes onto the surface of a coverglass. With the assistance from α-hemolysin (aHL), translocations of analytes through a lipid membrane trigge...
متن کاملHow to wake a giant
Research on G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs, 7TM receptors) has attracted remarkable interest throughout the last few decades. They are involved in several human diseases and their accessibility for pharmaceutical intervention has made them the number one drug target [1]. As the de-orphanization of every receptor harbors a potential new therapeutic option, uncharacterized GPCRs are in fact a...
متن کاملAntiplatelet therapy: to tailor or not to tailor?
We have all been witnessing the steep upward trend in mobile device usage and their increasing sophistication which will no doubt continue. We used to use our mobile phones to make calls and possibly to send a text message, but now we check our emails, reserve cinema tickets, and, of course, read the latest journal articles via our smartphones and tablets. At Oxford University Press, we launche...
متن کاملTailor to Fit It
This paper is a result of research activities within wearable communications carried out at the Ericsson Norway Applied research center in collaboration with the University of Oslo. The research activities are based on the conviction that the user and usability should be in focus. The research is grounded on a field study conducted to investigate a highly mobile activity, namely bike messenger ...
