Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.In this study, we developed giant plasma membrane vesicles (GPMVs) from Leishmania amazonensis promastigote membranes to investigate the role of protein‐embedded membranes in methylene blue (MB) photooxidation. Upon MB photoactivation in model lipid membranes (giant unilamellar vesicles, GUVs), a distinct photooxidation effect was observed, marked by ...

Interaction of high density lipoprotein particles with membranes containing cholesterol
Journal of Lipid Research, 2007 In this study, free cholesterol (FC) efflux mediated by human HDL was investigated using fluorescence methodologies. The accessibility of FC to HDL may depend on whether it is located in regions rich in unsaturated phospholipids or in domains containing ...

The Effect of Solutes on the Temperature of Miscibility Transitions in Multi-component Membranes
, 2017 We address questions posed by experiments which show that most small-chain alcohols reduce the miscibility transition temperature when added to giant plasma membrane vesicles, but increase that temperature when added to giant unilamellar vesicles.

Formation of giant unilamellar vesicles from spin-coated lipid films by localized IR heating [PDF]
, 2012 We report a novel method for the generation of GUVs (generate unilamellar vesicles) from spin-coated lipid films by means of localized heating. This technique enables GUV formation from both charged and neutral lipid species, as well as from a complex ...

ChemSystemsChem, Volume 8, Issue 2, March 2026.Aqueous self‐assembly of a 2‐nitrobenzyl‐functionalized glucosamine derivative leads to the formation of photo‐responsive glyco‐microfibers via cooperative noncovalent interactions, primarily driven by π–π stacking and hydrogen bonding. Upon photo‐irradiation, the glyco‐microfibers undergo dis‐assembly even within confined water‐in‐oil microdroplets ...
