Advances in Biomembranes and Lipid Self-Assembly, Volume 26, formerly titled Advances in Planar Lipid Bilayers and Liposomes, provides a global platform for a broad community of experimental and theoretical researchers studying cell membranes, lipid model membranes, and lipid self-assemblies from the micro- to the nanoscale. Chapters in this new release include sections on the Applicative use of electroporation models: from the molecular to the tissue level, Tubular membrane structures, Trends in Big Data Technologies, Biomedical application of TiO2+Gd nanostructures, and The metamorphic transformation of a water-soluble monomeric protein into an oligomeric transmembrane pore.
An assortment of chapters in this volume represents both original research as well as comprehensive reviews written by world leading experts and young researchers.
1. Applicative Use of Electroporation Models: From the Molecular to the Tissue Level2. The Metamorphic Transformation of a Water-Soluble Monomeric Protein Into an Oligomeric Transmembrane Pore3. Tubular Membrane Structures4. Phototoxicity of Mesoporous TiO2+ Gd Microbeads With Theranostic Potential5. Reconstruction of Cytotoxic Bacterial Protein Assemblies in Lipid Vesicles
experts in the field of chemistry, physics and biology of lipid micro- and nanostructures and biological membranes, and a podium for non-specialists working on the interdisciplinary front
Ana Garcia-Saez gained her PhD at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Valencia, Spain in 2005, and then worked as a Post-doc at BioTec, TU Dresden, Germany. From 2013, she was a professor at the Interfaculty Institute for Biochemistry (IFIB), Universität Tübingen, Germany before moving to University of Cologne as a professor in October 2019. Since 2010, Ana was also the Max Planck Research Group’s Leader and the Deutsches Krebsforschungzentrum (DKFZ) Junior Group’s Leader at Bioquant, Heidelberg, Germany, from 2010 to 2013, and has been a Young Investigator as part of the EMBO Young Investigator Programme since 2017.
Ana Garcia-Saez’s research areas include Cell Death & Biophysics, Molecular and Cellular Biology, and Biochemistry & Advanced Microscopy. Though
