Protein reconstitution in giant vesicles
, 2023 Life on Earth is diverse and ranges from unicellular organisms to multicellular creatures like humans. Although there are theories about how these organisms might have evolved, we understand little about how ‘life’ started from molecules.

Effect of Bilayer Thickness on Membrane Bending Rigidity
, 2004 The bending rigidity $k_c$ of bilayer vesicles self-assembled from amphiphilic diblock copolymers has been measured using single and dual-micropipet techniques.

Pairwise hydrodynamic interactions and diffusion in a vesicle suspension [PDF]
, 2014 The hydrodynamic interaction of two deformable vesicles in shear flow induces a net displacement, in most cases an increase of their distance in the transverse direction.

, 2009 In the present study a novel approach to characterize lipid domains, which may provide binding sites for peripheral or integral membrane proteins, is demonstrated. In particular, analysis of fluorescence lifetimes of NBD-labeled lipid analogues was used to study lipid domains in Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUV) and – based on the GUV results – in the ...

Vesicle dynamics in elongation flow: Wrinkling instability and bud formation
, 2007 We present experimental results on the relaxation dynamics of vesicles subjected to a time-dependent elongation flow. We observed and characterized a new instability, which results in the formation of higher order modes of the vesicle shape (wrinkles ...

Mechanism of cellular uptake of genotoxic silica nanoparticles. [PDF]
, 2012 Mechanisms for cellular uptake of nanoparticles have important implications for nanoparticulate drug delivery and toxicity. We have explored the mechanism of uptake of amorphous silica nanoparticles of 14 nm diameter, which agglomerate in culture medium ...

Nanoporous silica-based protocells at multiple scales for designs of life and nanomedicine. [PDF]
, 2015 Various protocell models have been constructed de novo with the bottom-up approach. Here we describe a silica-based protocell composed of a nanoporous amorphous silica core encapsulated within a lipid bilayer built by self-assembly that provides for ...

New opportunities for bioscaffold‐enabled spinal cord injury repair
BMEMat, EarlyView.Schematic illustration of bioscaffolds for spinal cord injury repair. We summarize the effects of bioscaffold properties on SCI repair, highlight different types of bioscaffolds, various fabrication strategies, and in vivo transformations for the clinical development of SCI‐repairing bioscaffolds.
