GUV preparation and imaging: Minimizing artifacts
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2010 The components of biological membranes are present in a physical mixture. The nonrandom ways that the molecules of lipids and proteins mix together can strongly influence the association of proteins with each other, and the chemical reactions that occur in the membrane, or that are mediated by the membrane.

Semisynthesis of functional transmembrane proteins in GUVs [PDF]
, 2021 Abstract Cellular transmembrane (TM) proteins are essential sentries of the cell facilitating cell-cell communication, internal signaling, and solute transport. Reconstituting functional TM proteins into model membranes remains a challenge due to the difficulty of expressing hydrophobic TM domains and the required use of detergents ...

Self‐Assembled Lipids as Soft Dielectrics
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Self‐assembled lipid bilayers serve as soft dielectric materials for ultrathin electronics. Using liquid‐metal parallel‐plate junctions, the capacitance and dielectric breakdown of dehydrated lipid films are characterized. Dielectric behavior is controlled by lipid molecular structure, cholesterol content, and assembly conditions, providing molecular ...

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.We report a systematic study of β‐ketonitrile–modified Prodan‐type solvatochromic fluorophores. The β‐ketonitrile substitution induces marked bathochromic shifts in absorption and emission and significantly enhances fluorescence quantum yields in nonpolar solvents.

Uniform Microscale Thermoresponsive Liposomes for Controlled Release Above Body Temperature
Small, EarlyView.Uniform thermoresponsive liposomes are generated using a scalable double‐emulsion microfluidic approach coupled with accelerated solvent extraction. The resulting liposomes remain stable at physiological temperature but undergo abrupt rupture and cargo release at 41°C–45°C, providing a versatile platform for thermally triggered controlled release in ...
