TL;DR: The protein/lipid ratio and phospholipid/cholesterol ratio were found to have a positive and a negative correlation, respectively, with the latent bending energy of theospholipids, suggesting the energy expense in conforming to a bilayer phase may be an important physical parameter regarding the activity and the biogenesis of membranes.

TL;DR: Peptide- specific CTL response to the vaccine delivered by needle-free electroporation/electro-osmosis was equivalent to that delivered by intradermal injection, as determined by production of the peptide-specific IFN-gamma in ELISPOT assay.

TL;DR: There appears to be a correlation between the number of water molecules a lipid binds to the phase preference of that lipid, and the lipids, like phosphatidylcholine, which favours the lamellar phase bind far greater number ofWater molecules as compared to those, likeosphatidylethanolamine, which favour the hexagonal phase.

TL;DR: The tilt angle of the hydrocarbon chains to the planes of a dipalmitoryl lecithin single bilayer and multilayers were estimated by the asymmetry of the electron diffraction patterns of respective hydrated specimens to support the conclusion that they were tilted with respect to the normal of the plane.

TL;DR: In this paper, the funnel-like structures were found in calf lung surfactants (CLS) and an extract of CLS (CLSE), as foam, to provide a model air-water interface for study of surfactant structures at the interface.
