Spontaneous Expulsion of Giant Lipid Vesicles Induced by Laser Tweezers [PDF]
, 1996 Irradiation of a giant unilamellar lipid bilayer vesicle with a focused laser spot leads to a tense pressurized state which persists indefinitely after laser shutoff.

Imaging optical thicknesses and separation distances of phospholipid vesicles at solid surfaces [PDF]
, 1992 We present the application of reflection interference contrast microscopy (RICM) (1) to map the optical density of supported bilayers and vesicles and (2) to image the contact profile of phospholipid vesicles at surfaces.

TP53 R249S mutation in hepatic organoids captures the predisposing cancer risk
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 The systematic approach in elucidating the gain‐of‐function (GOF) roles of TP53 mutations in early liver carcinogenesis. Unique downstream targets of TP53 L3 mutations were identified from chormatin immunoprecipitation sequencing in HCC cell lines, followed by a series of validation assays to substantiate the exclusive transcriptional regulations ...

Surfactant-free production of biomimetic giant unilamellar vesicles using PDMS-based microfluidics
Communications Chemistry, 2021 The production of giant unilamellar vesicles by microfluidics commonly involves additives, which may interfere with the resultant membrane properties. Here pure lipid GUVs are prepared which exclude residual surfactants and other additives.

Active Membrane Fluctuations Studied by Micropipet Aspiration [PDF]
, 2001 We present a detailed analysis of the micropipet experiments recently reported in J-B. Manneville et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 4356--4359 (1999), including a derivation of the expected behaviour of the membrane tension as a function of the areal strain ...

Osmotic Shrinkage of Giant Egg-Lecithin Vesicles [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 1980 Osmotic shrinkage of giant egg-lecithin vesicles was observed by phase-contrast microscopy. The vesicles remained or became spherical when shrinking. Small and thick-walled vesicles formed visible fingers attached to the sphere. The water permeability of the single bilayer was found to be 41 micrometers/s.

Oscillatory phase separation in giant lipid vesicles induced by transmembrane osmotic differentials
eLife, 2014 Giant lipid vesicles are closed compartments consisting of semi-permeable shells, which isolate femto- to pico-liter quantities of aqueous core from the bulk.

Thermal fluctuations of the lipid membrane determine particle uptake into Giant Unilamellar Vesicles
Nature Communications, 2023 Particulates, bacteria and viruses wrap into cell membranes. Here the authors use optical tweezers, particle tracking and mathematical modelling to show that the uptake process into giant vesicles is influenced by thermal membrane fluctuations.
