An intelligent liposome that may deliver drug molecules in a well controlled fashion [PDF]
The passage of molecules, especially large ones, through the cellular membrane is a very important problem for some biotechnological applications, such as drug delivery.

Visualization of SNARE-Mediated Hemifusion between Giant Unilamellar Vesicles Arrested by Myricetin
Neurotransmitters are released within a millisecond after Ca2+ arrives at an active zone. However, the vesicle fusion pathway underlying this synchronous release is yet to be understood.

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

A giant unilamellar vesicle (GUV), with similar properties to cellular membrane, has been widely studied. Electroformation with its simplicity and accessibility has become the most common method for GUV production.

Membrane Protrusion Coarsening and Nanotubulation within Giant Unilamellar Vesicles
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
We 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.

Surfactant Assemblies and their Various Possible Roles for the Origin(S) of Life [PDF]
A large number of surfactants (surface active molecules) are chemically simple compounds that can be obtained by simple chemical reactions, in some cases even under presumably prebiotic conditions.
