Active colloids orbiting giant vesicles [PDF]

open access: yesSoft Matter, 2021
A self-propelled Janus colloid performs a persistent orbital motion around a giant unilamellar vesicle, even when the vesicle size is comparable to the particle size.

Curcumin–Induced Stabilization of Protein–Based Nano-Delivery Vehicles Reduces Disruption of Zwitterionic Giant Unilamellar Vesicles

open access: yesMolecules, 2022
Curcumin-loaded native and succinylated pea protein nanoparticles, as well as zwitterionic giant unilamellar vesicles were used in this study as model bioactive compound loaded-nanoparticles and biomembranes, respectively, to assess bio-nano interactions.

Development of Artificial Cell Models Using Microfluidic Technology and Synthetic Biology

open access: yesMicromachines, 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]

open access: yesPLoS 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

A Fluorescence-based Assay for Measuring Phospholipid Scramblase Activity in Giant Unilamellar Vesicles

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2022
Transbilayer movement of phospholipids in biological membranes is mediated by a diverse set of lipid transporters. Among them are scramblases that facilitate rapid bi-directional movement of lipids without metabolic energy input.

Caspase-8 binding to cardiolipin in giant unilamellar vesicles provides a functional docking platform for bid [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Caspase-8 is involved in death receptor-mediated apoptosis in type II cells, the proapoptotic programme of which is triggered by truncated Bid. Indeed, caspase-8 and Bid are the known intermediates of this signalling pathway.

Giant vesicles in electric fields [PDF]

open access: yesSoft Matter, 2007
This review is dedicated to electric field effects on giant unilamellar vesicles, a cell-size membrane system. We summarize various types of behavior observed when vesicles are subjected either to weak AC fields at various frequency, or to strong DC pulses.

Extent and mechanism of sealing in transected giant axons of squid and earthworms [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Transected axons are often assumed to seal at their cut ends by the formation of continuous membrane barriers that allow for the restoration of function in the axonal stumps.
