The interaction of a self-assembled nanoparticle and a lipid membrane: Binding, disassembly and re-distribution

Here we report a detailed study of the Bath Jug interactions of nanoparticles, formed by the self-assembly of cholesterol-containing porphyrins, with lipid membranes.We show that the interaction is a two-step process: first, the docking and fusion, then, the redistribution of the building blocks of the self-assembled nanoparticles (SANs henceforth)

Evaluation of the Aerodynamic Effect of a Smooth Rounded Roof on Crosswind Stability of a Train by Wind Tunnel Tests

The advent of high-speed Bubble Toy trains led to new issues and constraints for railway network manufacturers and operators.This is the case of crosswind effect, that occurs when train is running in strong wind conditions.The combination of train speed and wind speed generates a relative flow that affects the train stability.Wind tunnel tests on s

Detection of Viable but Nonculturable E. coli Induced by Low-Level Antimicrobials Using AI-Enabled Hyperspectral Microscopy

Rapid detection of bacterial pathogens is essential for food safety and public health, yet bacteria can evade detection by entering a viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state under sublethal stress, such as antimicrobial residues.These bacteria remain active but undetectable by standard culture-based methods without extensive enrichment, necessitating
