Interaction of Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL) with Model Mammalian Cell Membr...
Atherosclerosis and subsequent clinical complication is one of the biggest killers in the western world, with a death toll reaching 16.7 million deaths per year. Although many... -
Role of apolipoprotein E variant on HDL interactions at model cell membranes
Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of death in western society, its consequences such as strokes and heart attacks arise from the build-up of plaques of fat which accumulate... -
Self-assembling antimicrobial peptides: interactions with model lipid membranes
We propose to investigate antimicrobial peptides that self-assemble into well-defined nanostructures. Previous SAXS results have shown that the peptides form rather robust... -
Lipid exchange between high density lipoprotein (HDL) and model phosphatidylc...
Lipoproteins are the main carriers of lipids in the body. HDL is believed to favor cholesterol removal and decrease the risk to develop atherosclerosis and related... -
Antimicrobial peptide-loaded nanogels and their interaction with lipid bilayers
Due to increasing antibiotic resistance, bacteria membrane disrupting antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are of increasing interest as alternatives to classical antibiotics. AMPs are...
