Effects of polyMPC homopolymer on model membranes and injured neurons. (A) Molecular structure of polyMPC, polyMPC-PPO-polyMPC, DMPC and DPPC lipids. (B) The bending modulus, κ, as a function of temperature for (■) DMPC and (red ●) DMPC membranes in the presence of 200 μmol/L HP_27K[90] in a water medium. Inset: A sketch of a lipid bilayer. (C) Quantification of the effects of polymers on cultured embryonic rat hippocampal neuron survival following OGD at 37 °C in the presence of homopolymer HP_27K[90] at a polymer concentration of 30 μmol/L. *p < 0.05 as compared to OGD (+); ** p < 0.05 as compared to OGD (−).
