Electroformation of Giant Unilamellar Vesicles from Damp Lipid Films with a Focus on Vesicles with High Cholesterol Content

Membranes
Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are membrane models used to study membrane properties. Electroformation is one of the methods used to produce GUVs. During electroformation protocol, dry lipid film is formed.

Morphology remodelling and membrane channel formation in synthetic cells via reconfigurable DNA nanorafts

Nature Materials
The shape of biological matter is central to cell function at different length scales and determines how cellular components recognize, interact and respond to one another. However, their shapes are often transient and hard to reprogramme.

Genetic encoding and expression of RNA origami cytoskeletons in synthetic cells

bioRxiv
The central dogma at the core of molecular biology states that information flows from DNA to RNA and then to protein. Our research seeks to introduce a conceptually novel approach towards synthetic life by leveraging RNA origami, as an alternative to ...

Lipid vesicle formation by encapsulation of SMALPs in surfactant-stabilised droplets

Heliyon
Understanding the intricate functions of membrane proteins is pivotal in cell biology and drug discovery. The composition of the cell membrane is highly complex, with different types of membrane proteins and lipid species.

Metal-organic frameworks as anchors for giant unilamellar vesicle immobilization.

Journal of materials chemistry. B
Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are ideal for studying cellular mechanisms due to their cell-mimicking morphology and size. The formation, stability, and immobilization of these vesicles are crucial for drug delivery and bioimaging studies. Separately,

Relationship between oligoarginine-induced membrane damage of single Escherichia coli cells and entry of the peptide into the cytoplasm

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports
Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) can enter the cytosol of eukaryotic cells without killing them whereas some CPPs exhibit antimicrobial activity against bacterial cells.

Effect of Cholic Acid Salt and Its Mixed Micelles on the Morphology of Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUV).

Journal of Oleo Science
Bile salts, present in the gastrointestinal tract as biosurfactants, play a crucial role in emulsifying and solubilizing fat-soluble nutrients and drugs, thereby facilitating their absorption.

Arginine‐Rich Cell‐Penetrating Peptides Induce Lipid Rearrangements for Their Active Translocation across Laterally Heterogeneous Membranes

Advancement of science
Arginine‐rich cell‐penetrating peptides (CPPs) have emerged as valuable tools for the intracellular delivery of bioactive molecules, but their membrane perturbation during cell penetration is not fully understood.
