Molecular mechanism underlying the selective attack of trehalose lipids on cancer cells as revealed by coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations

The present study indicated that the mixed lipid bilayer of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and trehalosemonomyristate (TreC14) interacted strongly with the plasma membrane of cancer cells, and not that of normal cells, when the composition of TreC14 was 70%, as revealed by coarse-grained mole...
