Nanoparticles (NPs) can add functionality (e.g., catalytic, optical, rheological) to an oil-water interface. Adsorption of ∼10 nm NPs can be reversible; however, the mechanisms for adsorption and its effects on surface pressure remain poorly understood. Here we demonstrate how the
Understanding the dynamic adsorption of nanoparticles (NPs) at fluid interfaces is important for stabilizing emulsions and for the preparation of 2D NP-based materials. Here we show that the Ward-Tordai equations commonly employed to describe the dynamics of surfactant adsorption at
Apoptosis : an international journal on programmed cell death, 17(8), 821-831 (2012-03-31)
Sustained rise in cytosolic Ca(2+) and cell shrinkage mainly caused by K(+) and Cl(-) efflux are known to be prerequisites to apoptotic cell death. Here, we investigated how the efflux of K(+) and Cl(-) as well as the rise in

Changes in the level of membrane cholesterol regulate a variety of signaling processes including those mediated by acylated signaling molecules that localize to lipid rafts. Recently several types of ion channels have been shown to have cholesterol-dependent activity and to

The crystal structure of an open potassium channel reveals a kink in the inner helix that lines the pore (Jiang, Y.X., A. Lee, J.Y. Chen, M. Cadene, B.T. Chait, and R. MacKinnon. 2002. Nature 417:523-526). The putative hinge point is
