Collaborative Research: Dynamics and Stability of Multi-Component Lipid Vesicles in Flow — NSF Award to Purdue University (IN, $22
Vesicles are sub-cellular compartments consisting of sacs of fluid enclosed by a lipid bilayer membrane. They play a key role in several cellular processes such as molecular trafficking. Synthetic vesicles are often used in industrial applications such as drug delivery and personal care products. For example, small ves

| Abstract | Vesicles are sub-cellular compartments consisting of sacs of fluid enclosed by a lipid bilayer membrane. They play a key role in several cellular processes such as molecular trafficking. Synthetic vesicles are often used in industrial applications such as drug delivery and personal care products. For example, small vesicles (lipid nanoparticles) with mixed-composition membranes have been used to enhance delivery of mRNA vaccines across cell boundaries. Most vesicles of practical importance consi |
