Encapsulation of Living Leishmania Promastigotes in Artificial Lipid Vacuoles. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 After phagocytosis by mammalian macrophages, promastigote forms of Leishmania parasites settle inside intracellular parasitophorous vacuoles (PVs) in which they transform into amastigote forms and replicate.

Electrochemiluminescence Imaging of Liposome Permeabilization by an Antimicrobial Peptide: Melittin
Chemical & Biomedical Imaging, 2023 The permeabilization of liposomes by melittin, an antimicrobial peptide (AMP), has been studied by an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) imaging strategy. The methodology consisted first of encapsulating ECL reagents in sealed giant asymmetrical liposomes ...

“Force-From-Lipids” Dependence of the MscCG Mechanosensitive Channel Gating on Anionic Membranes
Microorganisms, 2023 Mechanosensory transduction in Corynebacterium glutamicum plays a major role in glutamate efflux for industrial MSG, whose production depends on the activation of MscCG-type mechanosensitive channels.

Formation of Giant Unilamellar Proteo-Liposomes by Osmotic Shock [PDF]
Langmuir, 2015 Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), composed of a phospholipid bilayer, are often used as a model system for cell membranes. However, the study of proteo-membrane interactions in this system is limited as the incorporation of integral and lipid-anchored proteins into GUVs remains challenging.

Giant liposomes as delivery system for ecophysiological studies in copepods [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2006 SUMMARYGiant liposomes are proposed as a potential delivery system in marine copepods, the dominant constituent of the zooplankton. Liposomes were prepared in the same size range as the food ingested by copepods (mean diameter of about 7 μm). The encapsulation of a hydrophilic and high molecular mass fluorescent compound, fluorescein isothiocyanate ...

Formation of Oligovesicular Vesicles by Micromanipulation
Membranes, 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.

Single-molecule analysis of the entire perfringolysin O pore formation pathway
eLife, 2022 The cholesterol-dependent cytolysin perfringolysin O (PFO) is secreted by Clostridium perfringens as a bacterial virulence factor able to form giant ring-shaped pores that perforate and ultimately lyse mammalian cell membranes. To resolve the kinetics of
