Validation of conductivity tensor imaging using giant vesicle suspensions with different ion mobilities [PDF]
BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2020 Background Electrical conductivity of a biological tissue at low frequencies can be approximately expressed as a tensor. Noting that cross-sectional imaging of a low-frequency conductivity tensor distribution inside the human body has wide clinical ...

On-Chip Inverted Emulsion Method for Fast Giant Vesicle Production, Handling, and Analysis. [PDF]
Micromachines (Basel), 2020 Liposomes and giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) in particular are excellent compartments for constructing artificial cells. Traditionally, their use requires bench-top vesicle growth, followed by experimentation under a microscope.

DNA Length-dependent Division of a Giant Vesicle-based Model Protocell. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 DNA is an essential carrier of sequence-based genetic information for all life today. However, the chemical and physical properties of DNA may also affect the structure and dynamics of a vesicle-based model protocell in which it is encapsulated.

Establishing functional giant Dictyostelium cells reveals front–rear polarity in intracellular signaling [PDF]
Communications BiologyIntracellular signaling dynamics are often obscured by the spatial and temporal limitations of cell size. Here, we developed a method to enlarge Dictyostelium discoideum cells by partial cytokinesis inhibition, generating multinucleated yet functional ...
