The Role of Membrane Fluidization in the Gel-Assisted Formation of Giant Polymersomes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Polymersomes are being widely explored as synthetic analogs of lipid vesicles based on their enhanced stability and potential uses in a wide variety of applications in (e.g., drug delivery, cell analogs, etc.).

Nanoscale Spatial Organization of ARC High‐ and Low‐Order Assemblies at Excitatory Synapses
Advanced Science, EarlyView.ARC (Activity‐Regulated Cytoskeleton‐Associated protein) mediates synaptic plasticity by forming nanoscale assemblies in neurons. Using super‐resolution microscopy and time‐resolved anisotropy with targeted tagging, the study reveals low‐order ARC assemblies at synapses colocalizing with AMPARs, semi‐circular structures at endocytic zones, and 60–80 nm

Chemical communication at the synthetic cell/living cell interface
Communications Chemistry, 2021 Synthetic models of cells are becoming increasingly sophisticated, but engineering communication between these and living cells remains challenging. Here the authors review modes of communication and signal processing between living cells and synthetic ...

Fusion of secretory vesicles isolated from rat liver [PDF]
, 1978 Secretory vesicles isolated from rat liver were found to fuse after exposure to Ca2+. Vescle fusion is characterized by the occurrence of twinned vesicles with a continuous cleavage plane between two vesicles in freeze-fracture electron microscopy.

Connexin 43‐Enriched Vesicles Improve Synchronization in hiPSC‐Derived Cardiomyocytes
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Plasma membrane‐derived Connectosomes enriched in connexin‐43 are produced from donor hiPSCs and applied to hiPSC‐derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC‐CMs). Connexin‐43 channels on Connectosomes remain functional, strengthening intercellular electrochemical coupling and increasing network synchronization over time.

Effect of Counter Electrode in Electroformation of Giant Vesicles
Membranes, 2011 Electroformation of cell-sized lipid membrane vesicles (giant vesicles, GVs), from egg yolk phosphatidylcholine, was examined varying the shape of the counter electrode.

Giant vesicles under oxidative stress [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2009 We use optical microscopy to observe giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) during the initial steps of membrane oxidative damage. A photo-sensitive molecule consisting of a porphyrine linked to a lipid headgroup (PE-porf) is incorporated in the lipid bilayer, thus generating singlet oxygen at the bilayer surface.

Electron tomography of late stages of FcRn-mediated antibody transcytosis in neonatal rat small intestine [PDF]
, 2012 The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) transports maternal immunoglobulin (IgG) across epithelia to confer passive immunity to mammalian young. In newborn rodents, FcRn transcytoses IgG from ingested milk across the intestinal epithelium for release into the ...
