Formation of Oligovesicular Vesicles by Micromanipulation

open access: yesMembranes, 2011
Cell-sized lipid bilayer membrane vesicles (giant vesicles, GVs) or semi-vesicles were formed from egg yolk phosphatidylcholine on a platinum electrode under applied electric voltage by electroformation.

Low-cost equipment for electroformation of Giant Unilamellar Vesicles

open access: yesHardwareX, 2018
Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUVs) constitute a very useful model for biomembranes. They are usually generated by electroformation using sinusoidal potential waves applied between two platinum electrodes or electrodes composed of glasses covered by indium

Formation of Giant Unilamellar Vesicles Assisted by Fluorinated Nanoparticles

open access: yesAdvanced Science, 2023
In the quest to produce artificial cells, one key challenge that remains to be solved is the recreation of a complex cellular membrane. Among the existing models, giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are particularly interesting due to their intrinsic ...

Functional reconstitution of a voltage-gated potassium channel in giant unilamellar vesicles. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Voltage-gated ion channels are key players in cellular excitability. Recent studies suggest that their behavior can depend strongly on the membrane lipid composition and physical state. In vivo studies of membrane/channel and channel/channel interactions

Morphology, biophysical properties and protein-mediated fusion of archaeosomes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
As variance from standard phospholipids of eubacteria and eukaryotes, archaebacterial diether phospholipids contain branched alcohol chains (phytanol) linked to glycerol exclusively with ether bonds.

Comparing electrochemical analysis and particle induced X-ray emission measurements of Prussian Blue Analogue deposits

open access: yesDiscover Materials, 2021
Prussian Blue Analogues are of major interest for their use in alternative battery technologies due to their charge storing ability with a long life cycle. In this work the Prussian Blue Analogue nickel hexacyanoferrate (Ni-HCF) was produced using an all

Reconstitution and functional studies of hamster P-glycoprotein in giant liposomes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
This paper describes the preparation of giant unilamellar vesicles with reconstituted hamster P-glycoprotein (Pgp, ABCB1) for studying the transport activity of this efflux pump in individual liposomes using optical microscopy.

Research of megasonic electroforming equipment based on the uniformity of electroforming process

open access: yesUltrasonics Sonochemistry, 2018
Megasonic has obvious advantages in overcoming the limitations of electroforming process based on its low cavitation effect, high sound intensity and acoustic streaming. In this paper, megasonic was employed to achieve uniform electroformed layer in electroforming process.

Olikomycin A Disrupts Gram‐Positive Bacterial Membranes Through Calcium‐Dependent Binding to Phosphatidylglycerol

open access: yesArchiv der Pharmazie, Volume 359, Issue 8, August 2026.
Olikomycin A, a calcium‐dependent lipopeptide antibiotic, targets Gram‐positive bacteria by binding to phosphatidylglycerol and rapidly disrupting membrane integrity. Unlike daptomycin, it induces extensive membrane remodeling, vesicle deformation, and fragmentation.
