Vesicular and Planar Membranes of Archaea Lipids: Unusual Physical Properties and Biomedical Applications

Vesicular and Planar Membranes of Archaea Lipids: Unusual Physical Properties and Biomedical Applications

Liposomes and planar membranes made of archaea or archaea-like lipids exhibit many unusual physical properties compared to model membranes composed of conventional diester lipids. Here, we review several recent findings in this research area, which include (1) thermosensitive archaeosomes with the c...
