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

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