Development of Artificial Cell Models Using Microfluidic Technology and Synthetic Biology
Micromachines, 2020 Giant lipid vesicles or liposomes are primarily composed of phospholipids and form a lipid bilayer structurally similar to that of the cell membrane. These vesicles, like living cells, are 5–100 μm in diameter and can be easily observed using an optical ...
