Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Engineered silica nanoparticles interact differently with lipid monolayers compared to lipid bilayers
Environ. Sci.: Nano, 2018, Advance Article DOI: 10.1039/C7EN00685C, PaperAli Asghari Adib, Saeed Nazemidashtarjandi, Alexander Kelly, Adelaide Kruse, Katherine Cimatu, Allan E. David, Amir M. Farnoud
Article Description
Despite a number of fundamental studies, the interactions of engineered nanoparticles with the cell plasma membrane are still not well understood. Membrane models, such as lipid monolayers and bilayers, have been used to provide a mechanistic understanding of nanoparticle effects on the structure and integrity of the cell membrane. However, the role of the membrane model itself in regulating nanoparticle-lipid interactions has generally been overlooked. In an effort to elucidate how changing the membrane model affects the resulting interactions with nanoparticles, the current study investigates the interaction of silica nanoparticles (104 ± 5 nm) with different surface-functional groups: plain (silanol), amine, and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), with various molecular weights of 2k, 5k, and 20k Daltons, with lipid monolayers and bilayers of the same composition. Studies with lipid monolayers demonstrated that PEGylated particles, regardless of the PEG molecular weight, and unlike plain and amine-modified particles, were able to penetrate the monolayer and disrupt the structure of lipids as evidenced by tensiometry and atomic force microscopy. In contrast, when interacting with lipid bilayers in suspension (i.e. vesicles), plain, amine-modified, and PEG 20k-modified particles disrupted vesicle structure, causing significant leakage, while PEG 2k- and 5k-modified particles did not affect the integrity of the vesicles. In summary, while the interactions of silica nanoparticles with membrane models is dependent on particle surface properties, a clear difference is observed in particle interactions with lipid monolayers compared to bilayers.
