Communications Biology, 2021 By encapsulating proteins in giant unilamellar vesicles, Bashirzadeh et al find that actin crosslinkers, α-actinin and fascin, can self-assemble with actin into complex structures that depend on the degree of confinement.

Shape Transformations of Lipid Vesicles by Insertion of Bulky-Head Lipids. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Lipid vesicles, in particular Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUVs), have been increasingly important as compartments of artificial cells to reconstruct living cell-like systems in a bottom-up fashion.

Heat-induced formation of single giant unilamellar vesicles [PDF]
, 2011 Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are an excellent model system for the investigation of lipid membranes, the study of membrane proteins and ion channels in a biomimetic environment, and in the creation of artificial cells.

Imaging of photoacoustic-mediated permeabilization of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs)
Scientific Reports, 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 ...

A Note on Vestigial Osmotic Pressure
Membranes, 2023 Recent experiments have indicated that at least a part of the osmotic pressure across the giant unilamellar vesicle (GUV) membrane was balanced by the rapid formation of the monodisperse daughter vesicles inside the GUVs through an endocytosis-like ...

Division and Regrowth of Phase-Separated Giant Unilamellar Vesicles*. [PDF]
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl, 2021 Success in the bottom-up assembly of synthetic cells will depend on strategies for the division of protocellular compartments. Here, we describe the controlled division of phase-separated giant unilamellar lipid vesicles (GUVs).

Membrane sculpting by curved DNA origami scaffolds
Nature Communications, 2018 BAR domain proteins feature a “banana-like” shape which is thought to aid membrane scaffolding and membrane tubulation. Here authors use DNA origami mimicking BAR domains, giant unilamellar vesicles and fluorescence imaging to study how different BAR ...
