Reversible Morphological Control of Tubulin-Encapsulating Giant Liposomes by Hydrostatic Pressure [PDF]
, 2016 Liposomes encapsulating cytoskeletons have drawn much recent attention to develop an artificial cell-like chemical-machinery; however, as far as we know, there has been no report showing isothermally reversible morphological changes of liposomes ...

On-Chip Inverted Emulsion Method for Fast Giant Vesicle Production, Handling, and Analysis
Micromachines, 2020 Liposomes and giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) in particular are excellent compartments for constructing artificial cells. Traditionally, their use requires bench-top vesicle growth, followed by experimentation under a microscope.

Microfluidic production of monodisperse food‐additive polymer capsules for biological applications
Droplet, EarlyView.Monodisperse TGPR polymer capsules are generated via a robust microfluidic approach exploiting droplet interface transfer across the oil‒water interface. Unlike lipid vesicles, these capsules offer high thermal stability and biocompatibility. They successfully demonstrated utility as robust bioreactors for in‐capsule PCR and bacterial cultivation ...

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Freeze-thaw cycles induce content exchange between cell-sized lipid vesicles
New Journal of Physics, 2018 Early protocells are commonly assumed to consist of an amphiphilic membrane enclosing an RNA-based self-replicating genetic system and a primitive metabolism without protein enzymes.

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.Optical neuromodulation with IR light allows stimulation of the PNS without the need for physical contact with the target nerve or without requiring any genetic modification. The clinical translation of this technique will pave the way to the development of neural interfaces for restoring sensory feedback in individuals with limb amputation.

Electroformation of giant unilamellar vesicles from large liposomes
Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are widely used as model systems for biological membranes to study membrane-related processes in a precisely controlled in vitro environment, owing to their biophysical properties.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Insect Science, EarlyView.Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.
