Influenza A matrix protein M1 induces lipid membrane deformation via protein multimerization [PDF]
, 2019 The matrix protein M1 of the Influenza A virus (IAV) is supposed to mediate viral assembly and budding at the plasma membrane (PM) of infected cells. In order for a new viral particle to form, the PM lipid bilayer has to bend into a vesicle toward the ...

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,

Signature of a non-harmonic potential as revealed from a consistent shape and fluctuation analysis of an adherent membrane [PDF]
, 2014 The interaction of fluid membranes with a scaffold, which can be a planar surface or a more complex structure, is intrinsic to a number of systems - from artificial supported bilayers and vesicles to cellular membranes.

Automated analysis of giant unilamellar vesicles using circular Hough transformation [PDF]
Bioinformatics, 2014 Abstract Motivation: In order to obtain statistically relevant results, the study of membrane effects at the single-vesicle level requires the analysis of several hundreds of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), which becomes a very time-consuming task if carried out manually.

In Vitro Membrane Remodeling by ESCRT is Regulated by Negative Feedback from Membrane Tension
iScience, 2019 Summary: Artificial cells can shed new light on the molecular basis for life and hold potential for new chemical technologies. Inspired by how nature dynamically regulates its membrane compartments, we aim to repurpose the endosomal sorting complex ...

Electroformation of Giant Unilamellar Vesicles on Stainless Steel Electrodes [PDF]
ACS Omega, 2017 Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are well-established model systems for studying membrane structure and dynamics. Electroformation, also referred to as electroswelling, is one of the most prevalent methods for producing GUVs, as it enables modulation of the lipid hydration process to form relatively monodisperse, defect-free vesicles.

Emergent Motility of Self‐Organized Particle‐Giant Unilamellar Vesicle Assembly
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), when combined with silica particles under alternating electric fields, spontaneously self‐assemble into motile structures. Asymmetric particle decoration induces fluid flows that propel the assemblies, enabling persistent motion and reversible control.
