Rotaxanes with a photoresponsive macrocycle modulate the lipid bilayers of large and giant unilamellar vesicles. [PDF]

Commun Chem
Rotaxanes equipped with actuators hold great potential for developing highly functional molecular machines. Such systems could significantly enhance our ability to study and manipulate biological and artificial membranes.

Imaging of photoacoustic-mediated permeabilization of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs). [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2021
Target delivery of large foreign materials to cells requires transient permeabilization of the cell membrane without toxicity. Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) mimic the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane and are also useful drug delivery ...

Block Copolymer Giant Unilamellar Vesicles for High-Throughput Screening

CHIMIA, 2022
Bottom-up synthetic cells offer the potential to study cellular processes with reduced complexity. Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) can mimic cells in their morphological characteristics because their architecture is precisely controllable.

Programmed magnetic manipulation of vesicles into spatially coded prototissue architectures arrays

Nature Communications, 2020
To execute higher-order functions, cells self-assemble into spatially coded tissue configurations. Here the authors magnetically assembly giant unilamellar vesicles into three dimensional tissue-mimic structures with collective osmotic stability.

Magnetoliposomes as model for signal transmission [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2019
Liposomes containing magnetic nanoparticles (magnetoliposomes) have been extensively explored for targeted drug delivery. However, the magnetic effect of nanoparticles movement is also an attractive choice for the conduction of signals in communication ...

Microfluidic production, stability and loading of synthetic giant unilamellar vesicles. [PDF]

Sci Rep
In advanced drug delivery, versatile liposomal formulations are commonly employed for safer and more accurate therapies. Here we report a method that allows a straightforward production of synthetic monodisperse (~ 100 μm) giant unilamellar vesicles ...
