Effects of monovalent anions of the Hofmeister series on DPPC lipid bilayers part I: Swelling and in-plane equations of state
(2007)Aiming to improve understanding of the mechanisms behind specific anion effects in biological systems we have studied the effects of sodium salts of simple monovalent anions belonging to the Hofmeister series on the bilayers ...

Experimental measurements and mathematical modeling towards quantification of brain swelling stress
(2017)Traumatic brain injury results in brain tissue swelling which can be a life threatening condition due to skull confinement. While previous efforts successfully measured the exhibited volume change in brain tissue swelling, ...

Monolayers, bilayers and micelles of zwitterionic lipids as model systems for the study of specific anion effects
(2007)This work is a review of the effect of different monovalent anions (belonging to the Hofmeister series) on a single model amphiphile, phosphatidylcholine molecules in contact with water, in three different geometries, ...
