Formation of tubules and giant vesicles from large multilamellar vesicles

Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2003
This study reports an observation of submicrometer multilamellar vesicles (MLVs) prepared by simply freeze-thawing a phospholipid dispersion at full hydration that transformed into giant vesicles (GVs) and tubules (TUs) when confined between microscope glass slides.

Collapse of giant phosphatidylcholine vesicles

Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 1996
Abstract The collapse of giant phosphatidylcholine vesicles was recorded by video microscopy. The vesicle membranes transform into small particles which seem to represent a multiply self-connected bilayer, possibly a cubic phase. We estimate the lipid density of the black (or bright) particles and the lateral tension rupturing the vesicle bilayers.

Giant Seminal Vesicle Stones

Urologia Internationalis, 2002
Seminal vesicle stones are rare conditions and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. Here we present 2 cases with single and multiple seminal vesicle calculi.

Electroformation of Giant Vesicles and Transformation to Oligovesicular Vesicles

2013
Abstract Recent observations about electroformation of cell-sized lipid membrane vesicles (giant vesicles or giant liposomes) are briefly reviewed, focusing on the following aspects; (1) electroformation on a substrate material placed between the electrodes, (2) comparison between dc and ac as the applied voltage, (3) consideration of the effect of ...

Rapid Electroformation of Giant Vesicles

Chemistry Letters, 2011
Abstract With a small amount of an electrolyte, electroformation of giant vesicles (GVs) proceeded faster than in pure water. In 50 µM neutral phosphate buffer, a GV larger than 50 µm formed in 100 s. The time required for the completion was 5–10 min while electroformation in pure water usually takes 90–120 min.

Giant unilamellar vesicles with cytoskeleton

2019
In this chapter we will give first an overview about the many functions of the cytoskeleton, its composition and structure in various organisms. We will describe next methods to anchor cytoskeletal filaments to membranes of supported lipid bilayers (SLB) and giant unilamellar vesicles (GUV) by several strategies based on charge, amphipathic helices ...
