vesicular and planar membranes\u201d in Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces. This article provides new insights into the impact of lipid phase on interactions between lipid membranes and nanoparticles. Using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring, complemented by atomic force microscopy and simulations, it demonstrates that vesicle rupture \u2013 induced by nanoparticles \u2013 is enhanced in rigid membranes (gel-ordered or ripple phase) compared to fluid (liquid-disordered phase) membranes. Importantly, the effect of lipid phase is decoupled from other physicochemical parameters, such as the lipid acyl chain length and the presence of charge in either the membrane or the nanoparticles. These findings establish lipid phase as a key determinant of nanoparticle-membrane interactions and advance fundamental understanding. This insight is essential, as dynamic changes in bilayer rigidity, composition, and surface charge regulate these interactions.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.colsurfb.2026.115665\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.colsurfb.2026.115665<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1103\/PhysRevLett.134.046702 \"> <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_editorskit_title_hidden":false,"_editorskit_reading_time":1,"_editorskit_is_block_options_detached":false,"_editorskit_block_options_position":"{}","editor_plus_copied_stylings":"{}","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6280","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Home - In\u0161titut Jo\u017eef Stefan<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www-f5.ijs.si\/en\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Home - In\u0161titut Jo\u017eef Stefan\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Laure Bar, Marta Lavri\u010d, Miha \u0160karabot, and George Cordoyiannis (F5), in collaboration with Maja Caf and Slavko Kralj (K8, Jo\u017eef Stefan Institute), Ale\u0161 Igli\u010d (University of Ljubljana), Patricia Losada-P\u00e9rez (Universit\u00e9 Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium), and Raj Kumar Sadhu (Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India), have published an article entitled \u201cLipid-phase-modulated interactions of gold nanoparticles with supported vesicular and planar membranes\u201d in Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces.

Importantly, the effect of lipid phase is decoupled from other physicochemical parameters, such as the lipid acyl chain length and the presence of charge in either the membrane or the nanoparticles. These findings establish lipid phase as a key determinant of nanoparticle-membrane interactions and advance fundamental understanding. This insight is essential, as dynamic changes in bilayer rigidity, composition, and surface charge regulate these interactions.https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.colsurfb.2026.115665  &nbsp;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www-f5.ijs.si\/en\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"In\u0161titut Jo\u017eef Stefan\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-03-12T08:57:52+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www-f5.ijs.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hero_hp.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www-f5.ijs.si\\\/en\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www-f5.ijs.si\\\/en\",\"name\":\"Home - In\u0161titut Jo\u017eef Stefan\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www-f5.ijs.si\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www-f5.ijs.si\\\/en#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www-f5.ijs.si\\\/en#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www-f5.ijs.si\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/08\\\/hero_hp.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2022-09-26T13:09:25+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-03-12T08:57:52+00:00\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/www-f5.ijs.si\\\/en\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www-f5.ijs.si\\\/en#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www-f5.ijs.si\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/08\\\/hero_hp.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www-f5.ijs.si\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/08\\\/hero_hp.jpg\"},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www-f5.ijs.si\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www-f5.ijs.si\\\/\",\"name\":\"In\u0161titut Jo\u017eef Stefan\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www-f5.ijs.si\\\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":{\"@type\":\"PropertyValueSpecification\",\"valueRequired\":true,\"valueName\":\"search_term_string\"}}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Home - In\u0161titut Jo\u017eef Stefan","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www-f5.ijs.si\/en","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Home - In\u0161titut Jo\u017eef Stefan","og_description":"Laure Bar, Marta Lavri\u010d, Miha \u0160karabot, and George Cordoyiannis (F5), in collaboration with Maja Caf and Slavko Kralj (K8, Jo\u017eef Stefan Institute), Ale\u0161 Igli\u010d (University of Ljubljana), Patricia Losada-P\u00e9rez (Universit\u00e9 Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium), and Raj Kumar Sadhu (Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India), have published an article entitled \u201cLipid-phase-modulated interactions of gold nanoparticles with supported vesicular and planar membranes\u201d in Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces. This article provides new insights into the impact of lipid phase on interactions between lipid membranes and nanoparticles. Using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring, complemented by atomic force microscopy and simulations, it demonstrates that vesicle rupture \u2013 induced by nanoparticles \u2013 is enhanced in rigid membranes (gel-ordered or ripple phase) compared to fluid (liquid-disordered phase) membranes. Importantly, the effect of lipid phase is decoupled from other physicochemical parameters, such as the lipid acyl chain length and the presence of charge in either the membrane or the nanoparticles. These findings establish lipid phase as a key determinant of nanoparticle-membrane interactions and advance fundamental understanding.
