Optimizing spatial organization of FtsZ rings for large-scale constriction in synthetic cells [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsSpatially regulated membrane constriction is an important milestone in reconstituting minimal cell division. In giant lipid vesicles, bottom-up approaches have reproduced the assembly, mid-cell positioning, and the initial constriction of an FtsZ-based ...

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.

Asymmetrical Polyhedral Configuration of Giant Vesicles Induced by Orderly Array of Encapsulated Colloidal Particles. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Giant vesicles (GVs) encapsulating colloidal particles by a specific volume fraction show a characteristic configuration under a hypertonic condition. Several flat faces were formed in GV membrane with orderly array of inner particles.
