Extracellular Cues Govern Shape and Cytoskeletal Organization in Giant Unilamellar Lipid Vesicles
ACS Synthetic Biology, 2023 Spontaneous and induced front-rear polarization and a subsequent asymmetric actin cytoskeleton is a crucial event leading to cell migration, a key process involved in a variety of physiological and pathological conditions such as tissue development ...

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 ...

Thermodynamic relaxation drives expulsion in giant unilamellar vesicles [PDF]
Physical Biology, 2009 We investigated the thermodynamic relaxation of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) which contained small vesicles within their interior. Quenching these vesicles from their fluid phase (T>Tm) through the phase transition in the gel state ...

Reconstitution of proteins on electroformed giant unilamellar vesicles [PDF]
, 2015 In vitro reconstitution of simplified biological systems from molecular parts has proven to be a powerful method for investigating the biochemical and biophysical principles underlying cellular processes. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in reconstitution of protein-membrane interactions to understand the critical role played by ...

Production of giant unilamellar vesicles and encapsulation of lyotropic nematic liquid crystals.
Soft Matter, 2021 We describe a modified microfluidic method for making Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUVs) via water/octanol-lipid/water double emulsion droplets. At a high enough lipid concentration we show that the de-wetting of the octanol from these droplets occurs ...

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.

Rapid preparation of giant unilamellar vesicles. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1996 We report here a rapid evaporation method that produces in high yield giant unilamellar vesicles up to 50 microns in diameter. The vesicles are obtained after only 2 min and can be prepared from different phospholipids, including L-alpha-phosphatidylcholine (lecithin), dipalmitoleoyl L-alpha-phosphatidylcholine, and beta-arachidonoyl gamma-palmitoyl L ...
