DPPC bilayer oxidation by aqueous singlet oxygen
The oxidation of membrane lipids by reactive Oxygen Species, ROS, is implicated in cell apoptosis, cancer and ageing. We have performed preliminary experiments studying the... -
Does ozone initiate damage to the main pulmonary surfactant lipid, DPPC, or c...
Exposure to ozone gas can cause inflammation of the airways and breathing difficulties. The initial reaction of ozone is thought to be predominantly with lipids present in the... -
DPPC bilayer oxidation by aqueous singlet oxygen
Oxidation of membrane lipids by Reactive Oxygen Species, ROS, in cells may impact ageing, cell apoptosis and cancer. We propose to use our skills obtained studying the oxidation...
