Advances in Biomembranes and Lipid Self-Assembly

Advances in Biomembranes and Lipid Self-Assembly, Volume 34, formerly titled Advances in Planar Lipid Bilayers and Liposomes, provides a global platform for the study of cell membranes, lipid model membranes and lipid self-assemblies, from the micro- to the nanoscale. As planar lipid bilayers are widely studied due to their ubiquity in nature, this book presents research on their application in the formulation of biomimetic model membranes, and in the design of artificial dispersion of liposomes. Chapters cover Physical properties of SOPC lipid membranes containing cholesterol by molecular dynamics simulation, Exciting membrane fluctuations - more than thermal stimulation, Fluctuations shaping bio-membrane adhesion, and more. Surveys recent theoretical and experimental results on lipid micro- and nanostructures Presents potential use applications, such as clinically relevant diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, biotechnology, pharmaceutical engineering and food products Includes both original research and comprehensive reviews written by world-leading experts and young researchers Provides a global platform for a broad community of experimental and theoretical researchers studying cell membranes, lipid model membranes, and lipid self-assemblies, from the micro- to the nanoscale INDICE: Physical properties of SOPC lipid membranes containing cholesterol by molecular dynamics simulationHassan Chamati Phase Separation in Biological Membranes: an Overview with Focus on Experimental Effects of  Illumination and Osmotic Pressure ChangesCornelia Monzel Tuning the membrane fluidity of liposomes for desirable in vivo fate with enhanced drug deliveryShirui Mao Recent advances in quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring: phase transitions as descriptors for specific lipid membrane studiesPatricia L.
