Functional reconstitution of a voltage-gated potassium channel in giant unilamellar vesicles. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Voltage-gated ion channels are key players in cellular excitability. Recent studies suggest that their behavior can depend strongly on the membrane lipid composition and physical state. In vivo studies of membrane/channel and channel/channel interactions

Effects of osmotic pressure on the irreversible electroporation in giant lipid vesicles.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a nonthermal tumor/cell ablation technique in which a series of high-voltage short pulses are used. As a new approach, we aimed to investigate the rupture of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) using the IRE technique ...

Block Copolymer Giant Unilamellar Vesicles for High-Throughput Screening
CHIMIA, 2022 Bottom-up synthetic cells offer the potential to study cellular processes with reduced complexity. Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) can mimic cells in their morphological characteristics because their architecture is precisely controllable.

Liposome-based liquid handling platform featuring addition, mixing, and aliquoting of femtoliter volumes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 This paper describes the utilization of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) as a platform for handling chemical and biochemical reagents. GUVs with diameters of 5 to 10 µm and containing chemical/biochemical reagents together with inert polymers were fused

GUV-Net for high fidelity shoeprint generation [PDF]
Complex & Intelligent Systems, 2021 AbstractShoeprints contain valuable information for tracing evidence in forensic scenes, and they need to be generated into cleaned, sharp, and high-fidelity images. Most of the acquired shoeprints are found with low quality and/or in distorted forms. The high-fidelity shoeprint generation is of great significance in forensic science.
