Shaping Giant Membrane Vesicles in 3D-Printed Protein Hydrogel Cages
, 2020 Giant unilamellar phospholipid vesicles are attractive starting points for constructing minimal living cells from the bottom-up. Their membranes are compatible with many physiologically functional modules and act as selective barriers, while retaining a ...

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.

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 ...

Shape Changes of Self-Assembled Actin Bilayer Composite Membranes
, 1997 We report the self-assembly of thin actin shells beneath the membranes of giant vesicles. Ion-carrier mediated influx of Mg2+ induces actin polymerization in the initially spherical vesicles.
