Protein-mediated palmitate uptake and expression of fatty acid transport proteins in heart giant vesicles

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1999
Giant sarcolemmal vesicles were isolated from rat heart and hindlimb muscles for a) characterization of long-chain fatty acid transport in the absence of metabolism and b) comparison of fatty acid transport protein expression with fatty acid transport ...

The GDP-Bound State of Mitochondrial Mfn1 Induces Membrane Adhesion of Apposing Lipid Vesicles through a Cooperative Binding Mechanism

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
Mitochondria are double-membrane organelles that continuously undergo fission and fusion. Outer mitochondrial membrane fusion is mediated by the membrane proteins mitofusin 1 (Mfn1) and mitofusin 2 (Mfn2), carrying a GTP hydrolyzing domain (GTPase) and ...

Synthesis of Non-Uniform Functionalized Amphiphilic Block Copolymers and Giant Vesicles in the Presence of the Belousov–Zhabotinsky Reaction

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2019
Giant vesicles with several-micrometer diameters were prepared by the self-assembly of an amphiphilic block copolymer in the presence of the Belousov−Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction. The vesicle is composed of a non-uniform triblock copolymer synthesized

Membrane deformation and layer-by-layer peeling of giant vesicles induced by the pore-forming toxin pneumolysin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Protein-membrane interactions that modify the shape of membranes are important for generating curvature, membrane deformation by protein-protein crowding or trafficking of vesicles. Giant vesicles represent a simplified but versatile model for biological

Heterogeneous vesicles in mucous epithelial cells of posterior esophagus of Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Histochemistry, 2015
The Chinese giant salamander belongs to an old lineage of salamanders and endangered species. Many studies of breeding and disease regarding this amphibian had been implemented. However, the studies on the ultrastructure of this amphibian are rare.

Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry of Single Giant Unilamellar Vesicles Reveals Compositional Variability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are a widely used model system to interrogate lipid phase behavior, study biomembrane mechanics, reconstitute membrane proteins, and provide a chassis for synthetic cells.

Anticancer drug delivery with transferrin targeted polymeric chitosan vesicles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The study reports the initial biological evaluation of targeted polymeric glycol chitosan vesicles as carrier systems for doxorubicin (Dox). Transferrin (Tf) was covalently bound to the Dox-loaded palmitoylated glycol chitosan (GCP) vesicles using ...

Giant vesicles in electric fields [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
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 ...
