... 10 years after the demonstration that SNAREs can fuse lipid bilayers," said Daga, a researcher at the Eugenio Medea Scientific Institute in Conegliano, Italy. In the new study ...
Scientists have created a production line that pumps out microspheres that are all the same size and surrounded by a single lipid bilayer
... remains virtually untapped." The researchers incorporated lipid bilayer membranes into silicon nanowire transistors by covering the nanowire with a continuous lipid bilayer shell that forms a barrier between the nanowire surface and solution ...

... capillaries half their diameter. Their flexibility and resilience come from their membrane structure, which couples a typical lipid bilayer with an underlying matrix of protein. However ...
Wrapping a carbon nanotube in a lipid bilayer containing ‘biological machines’ integrates active proteins into a transistor for the first time
... . But the extraction of proteins from membranes is complex and challenging, given the inculcation of the proteins throughout a tenacious lipid bilayer. For this reason, Luke Schneider, Ph ...
