2. 21. Modification and Utilization of Nanotube-vesicle Networks

   Author : Martin Markström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nanotechnology; diffusion; network; nanotube; biomimetic; hydrogel; vesicle; compartmentalization; poly N-isopropyl acrylamide ; Marangoni; liposome;

   Abstract : Methods based on self-assembly and self-organization for construction of lipid bilayer networks, consisting of vesicles (3-100 μm in diameter) connected by conduits (50-300 nm in diameter), have previously been developed. Control over network geometry, topology, content, and membrane composition has been demonstrated. READ MORE

4. 22. Characterization of artificial and biological lipid vesicles using TIRF and SPR

   Author : Thomas Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; membrane permeability; chromaffin vesicle; fluorescence; total internal reflection TIRF microscopy; surface plasmon resonance SPR ; vesicle; osmotic shock; cell membrane; liposome; nanoparticle tracking analysis NTA ; large dense core vesicles LDCVs ;

   Abstract : Synthetic lipid vesicles serve as important mimics of cells and the natural membranes that they are enclosed by. As such they are frequently used as simplified models of the highly complex cell membrane to aid in-depth physicochemical and biological characterization of this essential biological structure.

5. 23. On the Formation of Supported Phospholipid Bilayers

   Author : Erik Reimhult; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; vesicle adsorption; formation kinetics; SPR; QCM-D; SPB; AFM; supported lipid bilayer; supported membrane; liposome;

   Abstract : Lipid bilayers are a central component of both the structure and function of biological membranes, like the one surrounding cells of living organisms. Since the lipid bilayer provides a host matrix for membrane proteins, which perform many of the specialized tasks in cells like energy, signal and material transduction, researchers have tried to develop artificial model membranes to study a variety of membrane protein functions.

6. 24. Interaction Between Antimicrobial Peptides and Phospholipid Membranes : Effects of Peptide Length and Composition

   Author : Lovisa Ringstad; Martin Malmsten; Per Hansson; Jeremy Ramsden; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adsorption; antibacterial; antimicrobial peptide; bilayer; ellipsometry; electrochemistry; electrostatic interactions; hydrophobicity; liposome; membrane; monolayer; phospholipid; secondary structure; supported bilayer.; PHARMACY; FARMACI; Pharmaceutical Physical Chemistry; farmaceutisk fysikalisk kemi;

   Abstract : Due to increasing problems with bacterial resistance development, there is a growing need for identifying new types of antibiotics. Antimicrobial peptides constitute an interesting group of substances for this purpose, since they are believed to act mainly by disrupting the bacterial membrane, which is a fast and non-specific mechanism.

7. 25. Towards specific quantification of exosomes using surface-based sensing

   Author : Deborah Rupert; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; label-free; surface plasmon resonance.; exosome; binding rate; antibody; concentration; nanoparticle tracking analysis; quantification; liposome; cluster of differentiation 63 CD63 ; diffusion; specific detection; mass transport limited conditions; extracellular vesicles; surface-based biosensor;

   Abstract : When exosomes were first observed in 1967, they were believed to be cell debris until extensive studies demonstrated key biological functionalities related to their composition and formation mechanism. Exosomes are nanometer-sized lipid vesicles of endocytic origin, with a membrane consisting of lipids and proteins and encapsulating a cargo composed of soluble proteins and genetic material.
