Membrane‐Mediated Force Transduction Drives Stick‐Slip Motion of Lipid Vesicles
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 11, 23 February 2026.A rotating magnetic field actuates a ferromagnetic particle inside a lipid vesicle, generating internal flows that induce stick‐slip propulsion near a surface. Membrane properties—elasticity, excess area, and phase behavior—modulate this motion by shaping stress dissipation and force transduction.

Heat-induced formation of single giant unilamellar vesicles [PDF]
, 2011 Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are an excellent model system for the investigation of lipid membranes, the study of membrane proteins and ion channels in a biomimetic environment, and in the creation of artificial cells.

Design of a Trigger‐Responsive Photothermal Vesicle‐Based Cargo Delivery Platform
Small, Volume 21, Issue 51, December 23, 2025.Drug delivery is reimagined with a vesicle platform that responds only to light. Gold nanorods are anchored to giant unilamellar vesicles through cholesterol, and tuning the cholesterol concentration ensures optimal attachment and efficient release. Upon near‐infrared light stimulation, antibiotic cargo deploys on demand to inhibit bacterial growth ...

Biophysical Studies of SNARE Protein- Membrane Interactions
, 2009 SNARE (Soluble NSF (N-ethylmaleimide Sensitive Fusion) Attachment Protein Receptors) proteins have been linked to the membrane fusion mechanism since 1993 as fusion proteins and have been suggested to be the minimal machinery.

Hydrodynamic lift of vesicles under shear flow in microgravity
, 2008 The dynamics of a vesicle suspension in a shear flow between parallel plates has been investigated under microgravity conditions, where vesicles are only submitted to hydrodynamic effects such as lift forces due to the presence of walls and drag forces ...

Lipidome Plasticity Preserves Membrane Function in Sphingolipid‐Depleted HAP1 Cells
The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 22, 30 November 2025.Near‐haploid HAP1‐SPT cells, which cannot synthesize sphingolipids de novo, undergo a drastic reduction in sphingolipid content when grown under low FBS conditions. To compensate, they remodel their lipidome by increasing ether‐linked phospholipids and adjusting glycerophospholipid saturation.

Cell Biology International, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 1518-1536, November 2025.ABSTRACT Autophagy is a critical adaptive mechanism in tumor cells that promotes survival under stress, but when dysregulated, it may trigger programmed cell death. The pentacyclic triterpenoids betulinic acid (BA) and ursolic acid (UA) are structurally related compounds that modulate autophagy; however, comparative insights into their effects on ...
