Bulk Self-Assembly of Giant, Unilamellar Vesicles
ACS Nano, 2020 The desire to create cell-like models for fundamental science and applications has spurred extensive effort towards creating giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs). However, a route to selectively self-assemble GUVs in bulk has remained elusive. In bulk solution, membrane-forming molecules such as phospholipids, single-tailed surfactants, and block ...

Active colloids orbiting giant vesicles [PDF]
Soft 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.

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

Giant vesicles in electric fields [PDF]
Soft 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.
