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.

Specific Adhesion of Membranes Simultaneously Supports Dual Heterogeneities in Lipids and Proteins [PDF]
, 2015 Membrane adhesion is a vital component of many biological processes. Heterogeneities in lipid and protein composition are often associated with the adhesion site. These heterogeneities are thought to play functional roles in facilitating signalling. Here

Influenza A matrix protein M1 induces lipid membrane deformation via protein multimerization [PDF]
, 2019 The matrix protein M1 of the Influenza A virus (IAV) is supposed to mediate viral assembly and budding at the plasma membrane (PM) of infected cells. In order for a new viral particle to form, the PM lipid bilayer has to bend into a vesicle toward the ...

Light-Switchable Membrane Permeability in Giant Unilamellar Vesicles
Pharmaceutics, 2022 In this work, giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) were synthesized by blending the natural phospholipid 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) with a photoswitchable amphiphile (1) that undergoes photoisomerization upon irradiation with UV-
