Abstract: An amphiphilic pyrene-terpyridine (Pytpy) probe forms novel, fluorescent nanoaggregates in phospholipid membranes. This unique membrane-driven self-assembly of Pytpy shows large Stokes shifts and long-lived fluorescent states and efficiently reports on vesicle-micelle transition through ratiometric changes.… read more here.

Abstract: Vesicles are self-assembled nanocontainers (size ∼100 nm) in which solutes such as drugs can be encapsulated. There is great interest in triggering vesicle-micelle transitions (VMTs) because such transitions will result in the release of encapsulated… read more here.
