Electroformation of Giant Unilamellar Vesicles from Damp Lipid Films Formed by Vesicle Fusion [PDF]
Membranes, 2023 Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are artificial membrane models which are of special interest to researchers because of their similarity in size to eukaryotic cells. The most commonly used method for GUVs production is electroformation.
