Electroformation of Giant Unilamellar Vesicles from Damp Lipid Films Formed by Vesicle Fusion
Membranes, 2023 Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are artificial membrane models which are of special interest to researchers because of their similarity in size to eukaryotic cells. The most commonly used method for GUVs production is electroformation.

Fluctuation spectroscopy of giant unilamellar vesicles using confocal and phase contrast microscopy [PDF]
bioRxiv, 2020 A widely used method to measure the bending rigidity of bilayer membranes is fluctuation spectroscopy, which analyses the thermally-driven membrane undulations of giant unilamellar vesicles recorded with either phase-contrast or confocal microscopy. Here,
