We report a novel analytical procedure to measure the surface areas of coexisting lipid domains in giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) based on image processing of 3D fluorescence microscopy data. The procedure involves the ...

It was proposed that topographic changes in lipid monolayers hydrolyzed by lipolytic enzymes such as Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) are a consequence of enzyme activity at the surface. Lateral packing defects that arise from lipid ...

Quercetin is a polyphenolic molecule with a broad spectrum of biological activities derived from its antioxidant property. Its mechanism of action has been explained by its binding and/or interference with enzymes, receptors, ...

We report a novel analytical procedure to measure the surface areas of coexisting lipid domains in giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) based on image processing of 3D fluorescence microscopy data. The procedure involves the ...

Purpose: Morphological features of tear microdesiccates on glass surfaces have been associated with tear fluid status. Tear-film lipids play a critical role in the pathophysiology of some ocular surface disorders. Tear ...

Neutral lipidsÐinvolved in many cellular processesÐare stored as lipid droplets (LD), thosemainly cytosolic (cLD) along with a small nuclear population (nLD). nLD could be involved innuclear-lipid homeostasis serving as ...

Quantitative characterization of the lateral structure of curved membranes based on fluorescence microscopy requires knowledge of the fluorophore distribution on the surface. We present an image analysis approach for ...
