Liposome Extruder Purification (LEP) allows for the rapid purification of diverse liposome formulations using the same extrusion apparatus employed during liposome formation. The LEP process provides a means for purifying functionalized liposomes from non-conjugated drug or protein contaminants with >93% liposome recovery and >93% contaminant removal in a single step.

Halogenated Cholesterol Alters the Phase Behavior of Ternary Lipid Membranes.

Eukaryotic plasma membranes exhibit nanoscale lateral lipid heterogeneity, a feature that is thought to be central to their function. Studying these heterogeneities is challenging since few biophysical methods are capable of detecting domains at submicron length scales. We recently showed that cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) can directly image nanoscale liquid-liquid phase separation in extruded liposomes due to its ability to resolve the intrinsic thickness and electron density differences of ordered and disordered phases.

Article Synopsis
- * Current research investigates how EVs navigate different tissue environments and their interactions with components of the extracellular matrix, which influence their movement and distribution.
- * Using advanced microscopy techniques, the study finds that proteins on the EV surface are crucial for their attachment to collagen I hydrogels, and inhibiting certain integrins can enhance EV mobility, potentially improving cancer treatment strategies.
Unexpected asymmetric distribution of cholesterol and phospholipids in equilibrium model membranes.

Lipid compositional asymmetry across the leaflets of the plasma membrane is an ubiquitous feature in eukaryotic cells. How this asymmetry is maintained is thought to be primarily controlled by active transport of lipids between leaflets. This strategy is facilitated by the fact that long-tail phospholipids and sphingolipids diffuse through the lipid bilayer slowly-taking many hours or days.

Treating diabetic retinopathy (DR) effectively is challenging, aiming for high efficacy with minimal discomfort. While intravitreal injection is the current standard, it has several disadvantages. Implantable systems offer an alternative, less invasive, with long-lasting effects drug delivery system (DDS).

Single-stranded, positive-sense RNA ((+)RNA) viruses replicate their genomes in virus-induced intracellular membrane compartments. (+)RNA viruses dedicate a significant part of their small genomes (a few thousands to a few tens of thousands of bases) to the generation of these compartments by encoding membrane-interacting proteins and/or protein domains. Noroviruses are a very diverse genus of (+)RNA viruses including human and animal pathogens.
