Reconstitution and Anchoring of Cytoskeleton inside Giant Unilamellar Vesicles
ChemBioChem, 2008AbstractAmong the requirements for all life forms is the ability to self‐replicate. In eukaryotic cellular systems, this division is achieved through cytokinesis, and is facilitated by the (re)arrangement and interaction of cytoskeletal proteins with lipids and other proteins localized to the plasma membrane. A fascinating challenge of modern synthetic

Deformation Modes of Giant Unilamellar Vesicles Encapsulating Biopolymers
ACS Synthetic Biology, 2018The shapes of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) enclosing polymer molecules at relatively high concentration, used as a model cytoplasm, significantly differ from those containing only small molecules. Here, we investigated the effects of the molecular weights and concentrations of polymers such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), bovine serum albumin (BSA),

Giant Unilamellar Vesicle Microarrays for Cell Function Study
Analytical Chemistry, 2018Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are widely used as artificial cell models which contribute to elucidate fundamental questions on origin of life and cell functions. Herein, the GUV microarrays were developed using a point-to-plane electrode system combined with microcontact stripping technique.

Trapping and release of giant unilamellar vesicles in microfluidic wells
Soft Matter, 2014We describe the trapping and release of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) in a thin and wide microfluidic channel, as they cross indentations etched in the channel ceiling. This trapping results from the reduction of the membrane elastic energy, which is stored in the GUV as it squeezes to enter into the thin channel.
