Abstract
Nature has inspired the development of biomimetic membrane sensors in which the functionalities of biological molecules, such as proteins and lipids, are harnessed for sensing applications. This review provides an overview of the recent developments for biomembrane sensors compatible with either bulk or planar sensing applications, namely using lipid vesicles or supported lipid bilayers, respectively. We first describe the individual components required for these sensing platforms and the design principles that are considered when constructing them, and we segue into recent applications being implemented across multiple fields. Our goal for this review is to illustrate the versatility of nature's biomembrane toolbox and simultaneously highlight how biosensor platforms can be enhanced by harnessing it.

Abstract
Fabrication of devices that accurately recognize, detect, and separate target molecules from mixtures is a crucial aspect of biotechnology for applications in medical, pharmaceutical, and food sciences. This technology has also been recently applied in solving environmental and energy-related problems. In molecular recognition, biomolecules are typically complexed with a substrate, and specific molecules from a mixture are recognized, captured, and reacted. To increase sensitivity and efficiency, the activity of the biomolecules used for capture should be maintained, and non-specific reactions on the surface should be prevented. This review summarizes polymeric materials that are used for constructing biointerfaces. Precise molecular recognition occurring at the surface of cell membranes is fundamental to sustaining life; therefore, materials that mimic the structure and properties of this particular surface are emphasized in this article. The requirements for biointerfaces to eliminate nonspecific interactions of biomolecules are described. In particular, the major issue of protein adsorption on biointerfaces is discussed by focusing on the structure of water near the interface from a thermodynamic viewpoint; moreover, the structure of polymer molecules that control the water structure is considered. Methodologies enabling stable formation of these interfaces on material surfaces are also presented.

Abstract
Electron-transfer processes in lipid membranes are key to biological functions, yet challenging to study because of the intrinsic heterogeneity of the systems. Here, we report spectro-electrochemical measurements on indium tin oxide-supported lipid bilayers toward the selective induction and sensing of redox processes in membranes. Working at neutral pH with a fluorogenic α-tocopherol analogue, the dynamics of the two-electron oxidation of the chromanol to a chromanone and the rapid thermal decay of the latter to a chromoquinone are recorded as a rapid surge and drop in intensity, respectively. Continuous voltage cycling reveals rapid chromoquinone two-electron, two-proton reduction to dihydrochromoquinone at negative bias, followed by slow regeneration of the former at positive bias. The kinetic parameters of these different transitions are readily obtained as a function of applied potentials. The sensitivity and selectivity afforded by the reported method enables monitoring signals equivalent to femtoampere currents with a high signal-to-background ratio. The study provides a new method to monitor membrane redox processes with high sensitivity and minimal concentrations and unravels key dynamic aspects of α-tocopherol redox chemistry.

Abstract
Advances in nanotechnology have generated a broad range of nanoparticles (NPs) for numerous biomedical applications. Among the various properties of NPs are functionalities being related to thiol substructures. Numerous biological processes that are mediated by cysteine or cystine subunits of proteins representing the workhorses of the bodies can be transferred to NPs. This review focuses on the interface between thiol chemistry and NPs. Pros and cons of different techniques for thiolation of NPs are discussed. Furthermore, the various functionalities gained by thiolation are highlighted. These include overall bio- and mucoadhesive, cellular uptake enhancing, and permeation enhancing properties. Drugs being either covalently attached to thiolated NPs via disulfide bonds or being entrapped in thiolated polymeric NPs that are stabilized via inter- and intrachain crosslinking can be released at the diseased tissue or in target cells under reducing conditions. Moreover, drugs, targeting ligands, biological analytes, and enzymes bearing thiol substructures can be immobilized on noble metal NPs and quantum dots for therapeutic, theranostic, diagnostic, biosensing, and analytical reasons. Within this review a concise summary and analysis of the current knowledge, future directions, and potential clinical use of thiolated NPs are provided.

Abstract
Homogeneous PEGylated lipid bilayer coated highly ordered MSNs (PLMSNs) which were systematically optimized and characterized to co-encapsulate paclitaxel (Tax) and curcumin (Cur) were verified to manifest prolonged and enhanced cytotoxic effect against canine breast cancer cells in our previous study. In this article, we took further study of the pharmacokinetic property, cellular uptake, subcellular localization, in vivo distribution and tumor accumulation ability, and treatment efficacy of the drug delivery system. The results revealed that the delivery system could significantly increase the AUC of two drugs, and the anti-tumor effect showed that both intravenous and intratumoral administration group better controlled the tumor weight than that of other groups (P < .05), and the anti-tumor rates were 58.4% and 58.3% respectively. Cell uptake and localization study showed that PLMSNs could effectively carry drugs into cancer cells with sustained release characteristics. The subcellular localization of PLMSNs was mainly in lysosomes and mitochondria. In vivo fluorescence tracing results showed that PLMSNs could be effectively accumulated in the tumor site. The results revealed that the delivery system could effectively reduce the clinical dosage of drugs and reduce its toxic side effects, effectively carry drugs into cancer cells, and exhibit good targeting characteristics for breast cancer.

Abstract
The possibility of modification of surface wettability is especially desirable in implantology. This effect is achieved by coating a given material with thin films containing nanoparticles of different chemical properties. In recent years, much interest has been paid to supported phospholipid bilayers (SPBs), because they can be exploited in novel biotechnological devices such as biosensors and mimetic membrane-coated implants. In view of the above, we decided to study the modification of wetting properties of phospholipid layer by two types of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) with different functional groups attached to the silica open-cage. The POSS and phospholipid (1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, DPPC) were vertically (Langmuir-Blodgett; LB) and horizontally (Langmuir-Schaefer; LS) deposited on quartz substrates to form a thin layer structure. The advancing contact angles on the modified surface coated with thin films were measured. The surface free energy (SFE) of DPPC, POSS and their mixed DPPC/POSS films was estimated by using Owens-Wendt-Rabel-Käelbe (OWRK) method. It was shown that the chemical structure of POSS used as a modifier influence the wetting properties of modified quartz surface. Incorporation fluoroalkyl-POSS into DPPC monolayer leads to obtaining a more hydrophobic film, while the addition of polyethylene glycol-POSS creates a more hydrophilic film. The transfer of the film with a more condensed structure led to a more hydrophobic material. The deposition technique (horizontal or vertical) had a particular impact on the modification of wettability of quartz surface coated with monocomponent fluoroalkyl-POSS film, whereas for the modification with mixed DPPC/POSS systems the choice of transfer method was not so significant.

Abstract
Supported lipid bilayers (SLB) functionalized with bioactive molecules can be effectively used to study the interaction of cells with different molecules for fundamental research or to develop biosynthetic systems for various biomedical applications. In this study, RGD and Osteocalcin mimetic (OSN) peptides were used as model molecules for functionalization of otherwise passive SLBs to evaluate cell-surface interactions via real-time monitoring in quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation. Similar platforms were also used in cell culture environment. It was seen that low density of mobile RGD peptides on SLB platforms preserved their biological activity and promoted cell adhesion more efficiently than high number of immobile, physisorbed peptides. Even though nonspecific protein and cell attachment was promoted, cells did not spread well on OSN-coated control surfaces. The stability of SLBs produced with different lipids were evaluated in various medium conditions. Enrichment with different lipids increased the stability of SLB to pure PC bilayer.
