In this paper, we discuss the electrostatics and interactions of a silica Nanoparticle approaching the plasma membrane accounting for the ionization of the silica nanoparticle in the ionic environment of the plasma membrane…..This is Harnoor’s 11th paper and Vishal’s 2nd paper from the group. Congrats both !!!!

In this paper, we develop continuum models to establish that a gold NP and a silica NP approaches the plasma membrane (PM) differently due to the corresponding differences in the gold-NP-PM and silica-NP-PM van der Waals interactions. This is Haoyuan’s 12th paper, Harnoor’s 10th paper, and Shayandev’s 25th paper from the group. Congrats all !!!

In this paper, we have developed for the first time a Molecular Dynamics (MD) Simulation platform to study the equilibrium structure of nanoparticle-supported lipid bilayer (LBL) and pinpoint the corresponding differences with similar-sized nanovesicles. This paper represents two FIRSTs for the group….first MD study on LBL system and first paper in collaboration with a scientist
