Curvature‐Assisted Vesicle Explosion Under Light‐Induced Asymmetric Oxidation
Advanced ScienceExposure of cell membranes to reactive oxygen species can cause oxidation of membrane lipids. Oxidized lipids undergo drastic conformational changes, compromising the mechanical integrity of the membrane and causing cell death.

Polyelectrolyte-induced peeling of charged multilamellar vesicles
, 2005 We study mixtures of charged surfactants, which alone in solution form uni- and multilamellar vesicles, and oppositely charged polyelectrolytes (PEs).

Membrane Protrusion Coarsening and Nanotubulation within Giant Unilamellar Vesicles
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2011 Hydrophobic side groups on a stimuli-responsive polymer, encapsulated within a single giant unilamellar vesicle, enable membrane attachment during compartment formation at elevated temperatures. We thermally modulated the vesicle through implementation of an IR laser via an optical fiber, enabling localized directed heating.

Invagination of Giant Unilamellar Vesicles upon Membrane Mixing with Native Vesicles
ACS OmegaWe demonstrate rapid membrane mixing between GUVs of pure lipid compositions and membrane vesicles (MVs) isolated from the plasma membrane of Vero cells, resulting in the transfer of native lipids and proteins to the GUVs. The steps involved in the membrane mixing are docking followed by membrane fusion.
