Asymmetric Giant Unilamellar Vesicles [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2010
The lipid composition of the eukaryotic plasma membrane is asymmetric; that is, if the bilayer is considered to consist of two leaflets, the outer-facing leaflet contains different lipids at different concentrations than the inner-facing leaflet. While there has been much speculation as to the physiological purpose of this asymmetry, it has been ...

Hierarchical unilamellar vesicles of controlled compositional heterogeneity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Eukaryotic life contains hierarchical vesicular architectures (i.e. organelles) that are crucial for material production and trafficking, information storage and access, as well as energy production. In order to perform specific tasks, these compartments

A Note on Vestigial Osmotic Pressure

Membranes, 2023
Recent experiments have indicated that at least a part of the osmotic pressure across the giant unilamellar vesicle (GUV) membrane was balanced by the rapid formation of the monodisperse daughter vesicles inside the GUVs through an endocytosis-like ...

Gel-Assisted Formation of Giant Unilamellar Vesicles [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2013
Giant unilamellar vesicles or GUVs are systems of choice as biomimetic models of cellular membranes. Although a variety of procedures exist for making single walled vesicles of tens of microns in size, the range of lipid compositions that can be used to grow GUVs by the conventional methods is quite limited, and many of the available methods involve ...

Caspase-8 binding to cardiolipin in giant unilamellar vesicles provides a functional docking platform for bid [PDF]

, 2013
Caspase-8 is involved in death receptor-mediated apoptosis in type II cells, the proapoptotic programme of which is triggered by truncated Bid. Indeed, caspase-8 and Bid are the known intermediates of this signalling pathway.

Thermodynamic relaxation drives expulsion in giant unilamellar vesicles [PDF]

Physical Biology, 2009
We investigated the thermodynamic relaxation of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) which contained small vesicles within their interior. Quenching these vesicles from their fluid phase (T>Tm) through the phase transition in the gel state ...

Surfactant-free production of biomimetic giant unilamellar vesicles using PDMS-based microfluidics

Communications Chemistry, 2021
Microfluidic production of giant lipid vesicles presents a paradigm-shift in the development of artificial cells. While production is high-throughput and the lipid vesicles are mono-disperse compared to bulk methods, current technologies rely heavily on ...
