In order to maintain their asymmetric lipid distribution, cellular membranes have a number of means to translocate lipid molecules across the bilayer. On top of the well-studied...

In recent years, it has become understood that rather than being homogenous mixtures, biomembranes show a complex phase behaviour, with regions of uniform phases, and others...

'Floating LSupported Bilayers' (FSB's) have become the 'standard' systems used for studying membrane systems using reflectivity at ISIS and other facilities. They are reliable,...

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are attractive drug candidates because of their selectivity and speed of action against bacteria. We have developed a novel approach to delivering...

Cell-nanoparticle interactions are complex, involving several specific and non-specific intermolecular forces between a wide range of particulate and molecular species . There...
