Abstract
The polymorphism of lipid aggregates has long attracted detailed study due to the myriad factors that determine the final mesophase observed. This study is driven by the need to understand mesophase behaviour for a number of applications, such as drug delivery and membrane protein crystallography. In the case of the latter, the role of the so-called 'sponge' (L3) mesophase has been often noted, but not extensively studied by itself. The L3 mesophase can be formed in monoolein/water systems on the addition of butanediol to water, which partitions the headgroup region of the membrane, and decreases its elastic moduli. Like cubic mesophases, it is bicontinuous, but unlike them, has no long-range translational symmetry. In our present study, we show that the formation of the L3 phase can delicately depend on the addition of dopant lipids to the mesophase. While electrostatically neutral molecules similar in shape to monoolein (DOPE, cholesterol) have little effect on the general mesophase behaviour, others (DOPC, DDM) significantly reduce the composition at which it can form. Additionally, we show that by combining cholesterol with the anionic lipid DOPG, it is possible to form the largest stable L3 mesophases observed to date, with characteristic lengths over 220 Å.

Abstract
Particle size is an important characteristic of materials with a direct effect on their physicochemical features. Besides nanoparticles, particle size and surface curvature are particularly important in the world of lipids and cellular membranes as the cell membrane undergoes conformational changes in many biological processes which leads to diverging local curvature values. On account of that, it is important to develop cost-effective, rapid and sufficiently precise systems that can measure the surface curvature on the nanoscale that can be translated to size for spherical particles. As an alternative approach for particle characterization, we present flexible DNA nanodevices that can adapt to the curvature of the structure they are bound to. The curvature sensors use Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) as the transduction mechanism on the single-molecule level. The curvature sensors consist of segmented DNA origami structures connected via flexible DNA linkers incorporating a FRET pair. The activity of the sensors was first demonstrated with defined binding to different DNA origami geometries used as templates. Then the DNA origami curvature sensors were applied to measure spherical silica beads having different size, and subsequently on lipid vesicles. With the designed sensors, we could reliably distinguish different sized nanoparticles within a size range of 50-300 nm as well as the bending angle range of 50-180°. This study helps with the development of more advanced modular-curvature sensing devices that are capable of determining the sizes of nanoparticles and biological complexes.

Abstract
The necessity for long-term treatments of chronic diseases has encouraged the development of novel long-acting parenteral formulations intending to improve drug pharmacokinetics and therapeutic efficacy. Lately, one of the novel approaches has been developed based on lipid-based liquid crystals. The lyotropic liquid crystal (LLC) systems consist of amphiphilic molecules and are formed in presence of solvents with the most common types being cubic, hexagonal and lamellar mesophases. LC injectables have been recently developed based on polar lipids that spontaneously form liquid crystal nanoparticles in aqueous tissue environments to create the in-situ long-acting sustained-release depot to provide treatment efficacy over extended periods. In this manuscript, we have consolidated and summarized the various type of liquid crystals, recent formulation advancements, analytical evaluation, and therapeutic application of lyotropic liquid crystals in the field of parenteral sustained release drug delivery.

Abstract
In situ formation of high viscous inverse lyotropic non-lamellar liquid crystalline phases is a promising approach for sustained drug delivery in the joint. The in situ forming process on exposure of two diclofenac-loaded preformulations to aqueous media was characterized with respect to depot size and shape, initial release and structural transitions using UV-Vis imaging and spatially and time-resolved synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The preformulations consisted of 10 % (w/w) ethanol, 10 % (w/w) water and a binary lipid mixture of glycerol monooleate (GMO):1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-rac-(1-glycerol) (DOPG) or GMO:medium chain triglycerides (MCT). Upon injection of preformulations into an employed injection-cell containing excess of bio-relevant medium, rapid generation of liquid crystalline depots was observed. UV-Vis images and constructed 2D SAXS maps of the injection-cell showed depots with different shapes and sizes, and features with high nanostructural heterogeneity. More extensive swelling of the GMO:DOPG-based preformulation was observed compared to the GMO:MCT-based preformulation. The UV image analysis found that a higher amount of diclofenac was released in the image area after 20 h from the GMO:MCT-depot compared to the GMO:DOPG-depot. The injection-cell setup employing UV-Vis imaging and synchrotron SAXS constitutes an attractive approach for evaluating the in situ forming processes of liquid crystalline depots.

Abstract
Cubosomes and hexosomes are nanostructured liquid crystalline particles, known as biocompatible nanocarriers for drug delivery. In recent years, there has been good interest in using cubosomes and hexosomes for the delivery of bioactive compounds in functional foods. These systems feature thermodynamic stability, encapsulate both hydrophobic and hydrophilic substances, and have a high tolerance to environmental stresses and potential for controlled release. This review outlines the recent advances in cubosomes and hexosomes in the food industry, focusing on their structure, composition, formation mechanisms, and factors influencing phase transformation between cubosomes and hexosomes. The potential applications especially for the bioactive delivery are presented. The integration of cubosomes and hexosomes with other emerging encapsulation technologies such as surface coating, gelation, and incorporation of polymers are also discussed.

Abstract
In order to test an encapsulation method of short fragmented DNA (∼ 20-300 bp), we study the solubilisation in 150 mM solution of NaCl of a cubic phase formed by glycerol monooleate (GMO) with negatively charged dioleoylphosphatidylglycerol (DOPG) up to the level of unilamellar vesicles and, subsequently, the restoration of the cubic phase using Ca2+ cations. We performed small angle X-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS and SANS) to follow structural changes in DOPG/GMO mixtures induced by increasing DOPG content. The cubic phase (Pn3m space group) is preserved up to ∼ 11 mol% of DOPG in DOPG/GMO. Above 20 mol%, the SANS curves are typical of unilamellar vesicles. The thickness of the DOPG/GMO lipid bilayer (dL) decreases slightly with increasing fraction of DOPG. The addition of 15 mM of CaCl2 solution shields the electrostatic repulsions of DOPG molecules, increases slightly dL and restores the cubic structures in the mixtures up to ∼ 37 mol% of DOPG. Zeta potential shows negative surface charge. The analysis of the data provides the radius of the water nano-channels of the formed non-lamellar structures. We discuss their dimensions with respect to DNA binding. In addition, Ca2+ mediates DNA - DOPG/GMO binding. The formed hexagonal phase, HII, binds less of DNA in comparison with cubic phases (∼ 6 wt% and ∼ 20 wt% of the total amount, respectively). The studied system can be utilized as anionic QII delivery vector for genetic material.

Abstract
Chlorophyll (Chl) is essential for photosynthesis and needs to be produced throughout the whole plant life, especially under changing light intensity and stress conditions which may result in the destruction and elimination of these pigments. All steps of the Mg-branch of tetrapyrrole biosynthesis leading to Chl formation are carried out by enzymes associated with plastid membranes. Still the significance of these protein-membrane and protein-lipid interactions in Chl synthesis and chloroplast differentiation are not very well-understood. In this review, we provide an overview on Chl biosynthesis in angiosperms with emphasis on its association with membranes and lipids. Moreover, the last steps of the pathway including the reduction of protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) to chlorophyllide (Chlide), the biosynthesis of the isoprenoid phytyl moiety and the esterification of Chlide are also summarized. The unique biochemical and photophysical properties of the light-dependent NADPH:protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase (LPOR) enzyme catalyzing Pchlide photoreduction and located to peculiar tubuloreticular prolamellar body (PLB) membranes of light-deprived tissues of angiosperms and to envelope membranes, as well as to thylakoids (especially grana margins) are also reviewed. Data about the factors influencing tubuloreticular membrane formation within cells, the spectroscopic properties and the in vitro reconstitution of the native LPOR enzyme complexes are also critically discussed.

Abstract
We herein report 13 protic ionic liquids (PILs) as tunable solvation media to regulate the internal lyotropic liquid crystalline mesophase of monoolein-based nanoparticles. A range of nanostructures, including inverse bicontinuous cubic, inverse hexagonal, and sponge/lamellar mesophases, were produced and verified by synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering. Notably, manipulating the cation/anion structures of the PILs can alter the monoolein packing behavior and cause a sequential phase transition (hexagonal → cubic → lamellar) in the nanoparticles. The solvent channels inside the nanoparticles were enlarged up to 40% under certain PIL-water conditions, making these materials prospective for encapsulation of large molecules. Finally, a freeze-drying study demonstrated the ability of PILs to preserve nanostructure upon reconstitution of the nanoparticles compared to that in pure water. This study opens a new route for fine-tuning lyotropic liquid crystalline structures using PILs, which circumvents issues encountered using conventional salts.

Abstract
Amphipathic peptides that partition into lipid bilayers affect the curvature elastic properties of their host. Some of these peptides are able to shift the Gaussian modulus to positive values, thus triggering an instability with respect to the formation of saddle curvatures. To characterize the generic aspects of the underlying mechanism, we employ a molecular lipid model that accounts for the interfacial tension between the polar and apolar regions of the membrane, for interactions between the lipid headgroups, and for the energy to stretch or compress the hydrocarbon chains. Peptides are modeled as cylinders that partition into the host membrane in a parallel orientation where they diminish the space available to the lipid headgroups and chains. The penetration depth into the membrane is determined by the angular size of the peptide's hydrophilic region. We demonstrate that only peptides with a small angular size of their hydrophilic region have an intrinsic tendency to render the Gaussian modulus more positive, and we identify conditions at which the Gaussian modulus adopts a positive sign upon increasing the peptide concentration. Our model allows us to also incorporate electrostatic interactions between cationic peptides and anionic lipids on the level of the linear Debye-Hückel model. We show that electrostatic interactions tend to shift the Gaussian modulus toward more positive values. Steric and electrostatic lipid-peptide interactions jointly decrease the effective interaction strength in the headgroup region of the host membrane thus suggesting a generic mechanisms of how certain amphipathic peptides are able to induce the formation of saddle curvatures.

Abstract
Cubosomes are highly stable nanoparticles formed from the lipid cubic phase and stabilized by a polymer based outer corona. Bicontinuous lipid cubic phases consist of a single lipid bilayer that forms a continuous periodic membrane lattice structure with pores formed by two interwoven water channels. Cubosome composition can be tuned to engineer pore sizes or include bioactive lipids, the polymer outer corona can be used for targeting and they are highly stable under physiological conditions. Compared to liposomes, the structure provides a significantly higher membrane surface area for loading of membrane proteins and small drug molecules. Owing to recent advances, they can be engineered in vitro in both bulk and nanoparticle formats with applications including drug delivery, membrane bioreactors, artificial cells, and biosensors. This review outlines recent advances in cubosome technology enabling their application and provides guidelines for the rational design of new systems for biomedical applications.
