Bending Elasticity Modulus of Giant Vesicles Composed of Aeropyrum Pernix K1 Archaeal Lipid
Life, 2015 Thermally induced shape fluctuations were used to study elastic properties of giant vesicles composed of archaeal lipids C25,25-archetidyl (glucosyl) inositol and C25,25-archetidylinositol isolated from lyophilised Aeropyrum pernix K1 cells.

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.

Gel-Assisted Formation of Giant Unilamellar Vesicles [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2013 Giant unilamellar vesicles or GUVs are systems of choice as biomimetic models of cellular membranes. Although a variety of procedures exist for making single walled vesicles of tens of microns in size, the range of lipid compositions that can be used to grow GUVs by the conventional methods is quite limited, and many of the available methods involve ...

Shape Transformations of Lipid Vesicles by Insertion of Bulky-Head Lipids. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Lipid vesicles, in particular Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUVs), have been increasingly important as compartments of artificial cells to reconstruct living cell-like systems in a bottom-up fashion.

Membrane Nanotubes Increase the Robustness of Giant Vesicles [PDF]
ACS Nano, 2018 Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) provide a direct connection between the nano- and the microregime. On the one hand, these vesicles represent biomimetic compartments with linear dimensions of many micrometers. On the other hand, the vesicle walls are provided by single molecular bilayers that have a thickness of a few nanometers and respond ...

Behavior of Giant Vesicles with Anchored DNA Molecules [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2007 We study changes in curvature and elastic properties of lipid membranes induced by anchoring of long hydrophilic polymers at low polymer surface concentrations (corresponding to the mushroom regime). The effect of anchored polymers on the membrane spontaneous curvature is characterized by monitoring the changes in the fluctuation spectra and the ...

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.
