Interfacial Phases on Giant Unilamellar Vesicles
ASME 2012 Summer Bioengineering Conference, Parts A and B, 2012Lipid nanodomains in cell membranes are believed to play a significant role in a number of critical cellular processes (Elson, et al., 2010). These include, for example, replication processes in enveloped viruses such as bird flu and HIV and signaling mechanisms underlying pathological conditions such as cancer.

Acoustical deformability of giant unilamellar vesicles
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2017An acoustic standing wave is used to trap and deform giant unilamellar vesicles with a diameter ranging from 10 to 50 μm. The giant unilamellar vesicles are prepared in glucose solution with a bi-layer of DOPC membrane with approximately 10 nm-thickness. They are suspended in a 4 cm2-chamber of an acoustofluidic device.

Block copolymers in giant unilamellar vesicles with proteins or with phospholipids
Faraday Discussions, 2013Biocompatible, highly water-soluble, nonionic, amphiphilic block copolymers having different hydrophobic blocks and architectures, but similar molecular size and chemical nature of the hydrophilic blocks, were investigated to check for their ability to form hybrid giant unilamellar vesicles with proteins, and for their interactions with giant ...

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 ...

Deformation of giant unilamellar vesicles under osmotic stress
Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2018Biological membrane plays an important role in maintaining an osmotic equilibrium between the cytoplasm and the extracellular solution of cells. Here, the giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) as cell models were used to investigate the effect of osmotic stress on phospholipid membranes. The deformation of GUVs, including inward budding and outward budding,

Deformation and poration of giant unilamellar vesicles induced by anionic nanoparticles.
Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 2020The interaction of anionic magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) of size 18 nm with negatively charged giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) formed from a mixture of neutral dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) and negatively charged dioleoylphosphatidylglycerol ...

Methods for Forming Giant Unilamellar Fatty Acid Vesicles
2021Fatty acids readily assemble into bilayer membranes at a pH near their apparent pKa. Fatty acid vesicles are not only useful for research in the fields of origins of life, soft matter science, biophysics, and drug delivery, but are also cost-effective and easy to manipulate, making them ideal for teaching students about self-assembly and lipid bilayers.
