Liposomes are extensively used to study the interaction of proteins, peptides and other molecules with the surface of a lipid membrane. One of the parameters that affects this interaction is the charge of the liposomal membrane. Liposomes are always made in aqueous environment and they are sized to the desired size in liquid state using various methods such as high-pressure extrusion through nano sized pore track etch membranes. Liposome without water is meaningless. In rare occasions, liposomes are freeze dried and proliposomes are formed in the presence of a lyoprotectant such as trehalose. Using a lyoprotectant is necessary in order to maintain the size of the liposomes after rehydration.
Phosphatidylglycerol (PG) is a negatively charged molecule. The amount of the negative zeta potential in the liposomes depends on the molar percentage of the phosphatidylglycerol (PG) in the formulation. Anionic Lyophosome™-Phosphatidylglycerol (PG) catalog contains products made from 0.5 up to 90 percent DOPG with various amount of negative zeta potentials. The matrix lipid, DOPC, that is used in the formulations does not significantly contribute to the charge of the liposomes. Anionic liposomes are used in blood complement studies and various types of in vitro studies.
Lyophosome™ product catalog is composed of a large selection of freeze-dried liposomes with various types of lipids and wide range of zeta potentials and different properties. Lyophosome™ products should be used by scientists who understand liposome formulation and have the proper equipment to check the size, separate non-encapsulated drugs and do the proper assays. Freeze-dried liposomes cannot be used blindly.

Bone Mesenchymal Stem Cells 作为一个细胞群体，还没有发现有特定细胞表面marker. 对于那些可以代表自我更新和分化的marker, 也不清楚到底要发现哪一个的表达才能确定该细胞就是BMSC。
目前常用的方法，就是采用培养，colony-forming unit-fibroblasts (CFU-F)这个方法。一般BMSC可以24-48小时贴壁。
流式细胞计数，比如STRO-1，但是一般认为STRO-1阳性的细胞更趋向于造血干细胞，和BMSC简单区别还不是很清楚。
这里有个培养分化的产品

下面的这段话是图注，图注的意思我明白，但是我想知道merge后的图看什么颜色的荧光，蓝色是细胞核，红色是lysosome(位于胞质），绿色是AMPKβ2，该实验是想观察AMPKβ2是否转位到lysosome上了，如果确实发生了AMPKβ2转位到lysosome上，那么merge后是红色与绿色融合在一起，是吗？融合在一起发什么颜色的光了？
