Electroformation of giant unilamellar vesicles in saline solution
Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2016Giant unilamellar vesicle (GUV) formation on indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes in saline solution and from charged lipids has proven to be difficult in the past. Yet the best cell membrane models contain charged lipids and require physiological conditions. We present a way to overcome this problem by using plasma cleaned ITO electrodes.

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

Magnetically Controlled Polymer Giant Unilamellar Vesicles
SmallAbstract Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are essential tools for mimicking cellular processes such as membrane transport and for applications including sensing or protocell development. While it is often desirable to immobilize GUVs in these contexts, many immobilization approaches are irreversible, or limited ...

Protein Reconstitution Inside Giant Unilamellar Vesicles
Annual Review of Biophysics, 2021Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) have gained great popularity as mimicries for cellular membranes. As their sizes are comfortably above the optical resolution limit, and their lipid composition is easily controlled, they are ideal for quantitative light microscopic investigation of dynamic processes in and on membranes.

Starch aided synthesis of giant unilamellar vesicles
Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 2020Synthesis of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) of charged and uncharged lipids at physiological salt concentration is presented using the starch hydrogel method as an example of the gel assisted synthesis method. The swelling of the gel is assisted by the presence of a high amount of amylopectin in starch and yields giant-sized vesicles, which are ...

Microdomain evolution on giant unilamellar vesicles
Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology, 2012A chemo-mechanical model is used to capture the formation and evolution of microdomains on the deforming surface of giant unilamellar vesicles. The model is intended for the regime of vesicle dynamics characterized by a distinct difference in time scales between shape change and species transport.

Refined contour analysis of giant unilamellar vesicles
The European Physical Journal E, 2004The fluctuation spectrum of giant unilamellar vesicles is measured using a high-resolution contour detection technique. An analysis at higher q vectors than previously achievable is now possible due to technical improvements of the experimental setup and of the detection algorithm.
