Effects of a Pulse Electric Field on Electrofusion of Giant Unilamellar Vesicle (GUV)-Jurkat Cell

Journal of Thermal Science and Technology, 2012
Here we describe a new method to deliver membrane impermeable cryo-/lyo-protective agents (CPAs) into the cytosol of living cells via their electrofusion with Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUVs) containing large amounts of CPAs.

Efficacy Assessment of Montanide GEL 02 PR and Liposome‐Based Encapsulation as Adjuvants for an FrpA Subunit Vaccine Against Photobacteriosis in Solea senegalensis

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Photobacteriosis is a major threat to marine aquaculture, and the siderophore transporter FrpA represents a promising target for effective subunit vaccine development. In this study, we evaluated Montanide GEL 02 PR and phosphatidylcholine‐based liposomes as aqueous and safer alternatives to Freund's adjuvant for an FrpA‐based subunit vaccine ...

Radiotherapy Enhancement by Gold Nanocluster‐functionalized Nanoliposomes Using Polychromatic Orthovoltage X‐ray Irradiation

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 9, 5 May 2026.
Lipid drug carriers to which ultra‐small gold nanoparticles were added enabled more efficient radiotherapy of cultured pancreatic cancer tumors. These nanoparticles boosted radiation‐induced damage to tumors by generating more reactive molecules, though higher gold levels are needed for strong benefits.

Visualization and analysis of apolipoprotein A-I interaction with binary phospholipid bilayers

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005
Apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) interaction with specific cell lipid domains was suggested to trigger cholesterol and phospholipid efflux. We analyzed here apoA-I interaction with dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine/distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC/DSPC ...

Transmembrane Condensation in Albumin‐Loaded Giant Vesicles Induced by an Intrinsically Disordered Protein

ChemSystemsChem, Volume 8, Issue 3, May 2026.
An intrinsically disordered protein, Q20, forms transmembrane condensates with albumin‐loaded lipid and hybrid giant vesicles. Condensate insertion and membrane remodeling depend on giant vesicle size and membrane properties, inducing local lipid coupling without leakage and revealing a robust membrane‐condensate interplay.

Optimization of the Inverted Emulsion Method for High‐Yield Production of Biomimetic Giant Unilamellar Vesicles

ChemBioChem, 2019
In the field of bottom‐up synthetic biology, lipid vesicles provide an important role in the construction of artificial cells. Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), due to their membrane's similarity to natural biomembranes, have been widely used as ...

Effects of Supramolecular Interactions on E/Z‐Isomerizations in Water and Their Importance for Biological Applications

Archiv der Pharmazie, Volume 359, Issue 4, April 2026.
Biomimetic supramolecular hosts in water affect outcomes and behavior of E/Z‐isomerizations. A deeper understanding of such effects can pave the way to understanding photochemical processes in more complex biological environments. The review displays examples of supramolecular hosts affecting the outcomes of E/Z‐isomerizations and subsequently ...
