Wireless Bioelectronic Modulation of Membrane Potential in Glioblastoma Using Carbon Nanotube Porins
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A schematic illustrating glioblastoma cell membrane modulation using carbon nanotube porins (CNTPs) and an applied voltage. CNTPs enable ion flux leading to changes in membrane potential. This figure summarizes the concept of bioelectronic control of cell membrane voltage.

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.

Membrane‐Mediated Force Transduction Drives Stick‐Slip Motion of Lipid Vesicles
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A rotating magnetic field actuates a ferromagnetic particle inside a lipid vesicle, generating internal flows that induce stick‐slip propulsion near a surface. Membrane properties—elasticity, excess area, and phase behavior—modulate this motion by shaping stress dissipation and force transduction.

Low-cost equipment for electroformation of Giant Unilamellar Vesicles
HardwareX, 2018 Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUVs) constitute a very useful model for biomembranes. They are usually generated by electroformation using sinusoidal potential waves applied between two platinum electrodes or electrodes composed of glasses covered by indium

A Note on Vestigial Osmotic Pressure
Membranes, 2023 Recent experiments have indicated that at least a part of the osmotic pressure across the giant unilamellar vesicle (GUV) membrane was balanced by the rapid formation of the monodisperse daughter vesicles inside the GUVs through an endocytosis-like ...

Taming membranes: functional immobilization of biological membranes in hydrogels. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Single molecule studies on membrane proteins embedded in their native environment are hampered by the intrinsic difficulty of immobilizing elastic and sensitive biological membranes without interfering with protein activity.

Charge-induced phase separation in lipid membranes [PDF]
, 2014 The phase separation in lipid bilayers that include negatively charged lipids is examined experimentally. We observed phase-separated structures and determined the membrane miscibility temperatures in several binary and ternary lipid mixtures of ...

Freeze-thaw cycles induce content exchange between cell-sized lipid vesicles
New Journal of Physics, 2018 Early protocells are commonly assumed to consist of an amphiphilic membrane enclosing an RNA-based self-replicating genetic system and a primitive metabolism without protein enzymes.
