Development of Artificial Cell Models Using Microfluidic Technology and Synthetic Biology
Micromachines, 2020 Giant lipid vesicles or liposomes are primarily composed of phospholipids and form a lipid bilayer structurally similar to that of the cell membrane. These vesicles, like living cells, are 5–100 μm in diameter and can be easily observed using an optical ...

Hierarchical unilamellar vesicles of controlled compositional heterogeneity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Eukaryotic life contains hierarchical vesicular architectures (i.e. organelles) that are crucial for material production and trafficking, information storage and access, as well as energy production. In order to perform specific tasks, these compartments

iScience, 2020 Summary: The reproduction of the shape of giant vesicles usually results in the increase of their “population” size. This may be achieved on giant vesicles by appropriately supplying “mother” vesicles with membranogenic amphiphiles. The next “generation”

Formation dynamics of patchy/Janus DNA condensates in monodisperse giant vesicles generated using microfluidics [PDF]
RSC Applied InterfacesHerein, we demonstrate the one-step formation of uniform patchy or Janus-type DNA condensates within monodisperse giant vesicles. This process was achieved by encapsulating DNA building blocks in monodisperse giant vesicles fabricated using a ...
