Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of lipid membrane macro- and micro-structure using calorimetry and computer simulation : structural and functional relationships'
Kent Jørgensen,Ole G. Mouritsen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the structural and dynamical lipid bilayer behavior and the appearance of small-scale lipid structures were investigated for membrane functionality, e.g., membrane compartmentalization, trans-membrane permeability, and the activity of membrane-associated enzymes and proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanics of Constriction during Cell Division: A Variational Approach
TL;DR: The instability of symmetrical constriction is shown and quantified with a characteristic coefficient of the order of , thus evidencing that cells need a robust mechanism to stabilize constriction at midcell.

Fractional Hereditariness of Lipid Membranes: Instabilities and Linearized Evolution
TL;DR: In this paper, the Gibbs free energy of planar lipid bilayers is minimized to penalize perturbations of the changes of areal stretch and their gradients only, and a suitable generalization of the variational principle invoked for the elasticity is applied in this case, and the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equation is found together with a set of bound-ary and initial conditions.

Liposomal beta-carotene as a functional additive in dairy products
TL;DR: In this paper, a low-fat milk drink with liposomal beta-carotene additive was used for fortification of lowfat milk drinks and the formation, structure and stability of liposomes were controlled by transmission electron microscopy.

TL;DR: In mixtures with the calamitic liquid crystal 8CB, the low-temperature DC phase forms a more ordered, bicontinuous structure, resembling the cubic phase observed in the lyotropic systems, which is attributed to the enhanced intralayer ordering of the bent-core molecules in the mixtures.
