Aqueous self‐assembly of a 2‐nitrobenzyl‐functionalized glucosamine derivative leads to the formation of photo‐responsive glyco‐microfibers via cooperative noncovalent interactions, primarily driven by π–π stacking and hydrogen bonding. Upon photo‐irradiation, the glyco‐microfibers undergo dis‐assembly even within confined water‐in‐oil microdroplets ...

Vesicle dynamics in elongation flow: Wrinkling instability and bud formation
We present experimental results on the relaxation dynamics of vesicles subjected to a time-dependent elongation flow. We observed and characterized a new instability, which results in the formation of higher order modes of the vesicle shape (wrinkles ...

Mixed lipid bilayers with locally varying spontaneous curvature and bending
A model of lipid bilayers made of a mixture of two lipids with different average compositions on both leaflets, is developed. A Landau hamiltonian describing the lipid-lipid interactions on each leaflet, with two lipidic fields $\psi_1$ and $\psi_2$, is ...

Microcavity supported lipid membranes: versatile platforms for building asymmetric lipid bilayers and for protein recognition [PDF]
Microcavity supported lipid bilayers (MSLB) are contact-free membranes suspended across aqueousfilled pores that maintain the lipid bilayer in a highly fluidic state and free from frictional interactions with substrate.
