Phase Transition and dissipation driven budding in lipid vesicles [PDF]
Membrane budding has been extensively studied as an equilibrium process attributed to the formation of coexisting domains or changes in the vesicle area to volume ratio (reduced volume). In contrast, non-equilibrium budding remains experimentally widely unexplored especially when time scales fall well below the characteristic diffusion time of lipids ...

Polyelectrolyte-induced peeling of charged multilamellar vesicles
We study mixtures of charged surfactants, which alone in solution form uni- and multilamellar vesicles, and oppositely charged polyelectrolytes (PEs).

Interplay of packing and flip-flop in local bilayer deformation. How phosphatidylglycerol could rescue mitochondrial function in a cardiolipin-deficient yeast mutant [PDF]
In a previous work, we have shown that a spatially localized transmembrane pH gradient, produced by acid micro-injection near the external side of cardiolipin-containing giant unilamellar vesicles, leads to the formation of tubules that retract after the

Drug delivery systems play a pivotal role in targeted pharmaceutical transport and controlled release at specific sites. Liposomes, commonly used as drug carriers, constitute a fundamental part of these systems.

High-Throughput Mechanical Characterization of Giant Unilamellar Vesicles by Real-Time Deformability Cytometry [PDF]
Real-time deformability cytometry (RT-DC) enables high-throughput, contact-free mechanical characterization of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs). However, the interpretation of vesicle deformation under flow has been hindered by the absence of a suitable theoretical or computational framework.
