QCM-D study of time-resolved cell adhesion and detachment: Effect of surface free energy on eukaryotes and prokaryotes

TL;DR: Under flow and steady-state conditions, within time scales up to ≈ 10 hours, a high SFE, especially its polar component enhances S. cerevisiae adhesion and hinders E. coli adhesion; in the long term, however, both cells tend to detach, but less detachment occurs on surfaces with a high dispersive SFE contribution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interactions of Aqueous Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquid Mixtures with Solid-Supported Phospholipid Vesicles.

TL;DR: Results indicate that interactions are mainly driven by the hydrophobic components of the IL, which significantly distort the layer and promote vesicle rupture, and evidence the gradual decrease of the main phase transition temperature upon increasing IL concentration, reflecting increased disorder by weakening of lipid chain interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Melittin disruption of raft and non-raft-forming biomimetic membranes: A study by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring

TL;DR: Results confirm the importance of lateral phase separation as a determinant factor in peptide activity and can be used for the design of more efficient antimicrobial peptides and the possibility of using a label-free approach for tailored-membranes and interactions with other types of peptides, such as amyloid peptides.
