TL;DR: Investigation of the effects of Hg2+ and Cu2+ on free cytosolic calcium using Fura2/AM-loaded cells and lysosomal membrane destabilisation using neutral red (NR) staining indicates an involvement of cPLA2 in lysOSomal membranes destabilisation induced by heavy metals.
TL;DR: In this article, the interaction between DNA and polylysine of varying molecular weight average (4, 24, 54, 224 k) using ethidium bromide fluorescence to monitor formation of complexes and their disruption by poly( l )aspartic acid (PAA).
TL;DR: The key result is that destabilisation initially occurs via a combination of droplet flocculation and permeation in unstable, dilute oil-in-water Pickering emulsions.
TL;DR: The destabilisation of lipid-water interactions play a major role in this process of formation of 'lipidic' particles corresponding to inverted lipid micelles in freeze-fracture replicas of aqueous dispersions of mono- and digalactosyldiacylglycerols.
TL;DR: MgH(2) ball-milled with Ge leads to a thermodynamic destabilisation that has dramatically reduced the temperature of dehydrogenation to 130 °C, opening up the potential for Mg-based multicomponent systems as hydrogen stores for a range of applications.
