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 ...

Measurement and modeling of diffuse ultraviolet radiation: A review
Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.Solar UV radiation consists of direct and diffuse UV components. The diffuse component contributes to the exposure received by humans and to the risk of skin cancer and sun‐related eye disorders. This review aims to determine future research directions for the measurement and modeling of diffuse solar UV radiation.

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.

The Effect of Solutes on the Temperature of Miscibility Transitions in Multi-component Membranes
, 2017 We address questions posed by experiments which show that most small-chain alcohols reduce the miscibility transition temperature when added to giant plasma membrane vesicles, but increase that temperature when added to giant unilamellar vesicles.

Targeted anion transporter delivery by coiled-coil driven membrane fusion [PDF]
, 2016 Synthetic anion transporters (anionophores) have potential as biomedical research tools and therapeutics. However, the efficient and specific delivery of these highly lipophilic molecules to a target cell membrane is non-trivial. Here, we investigate the

ChemSystemsChem, Volume 8, Issue 3, May 2026.An intrinsically disordered protein, Q20, forms transmembrane condensates with albumin‐loaded lipid and hybrid giant vesicles. Condensate insertion and membrane remodeling depend on giant vesicle size and membrane properties, inducing local lipid coupling without leakage and revealing a robust membrane‐condensate interplay.

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.

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 ...

Ion‐ and Temperature‐Programmable Reconfiguration of Subcompartments in Synthetic Cells
ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 8, April 2026.Spatial organization of subcompartments defines living cells, yet achieving dynamic and reversible compartmentalization remains challenging in bottom‐up synthetic cell design. We report a minimal, protein‐free mechanism in which Mg2+‐mediated intermembrane adhesion reversibly couples neutral large unilamellar vesicle (LUV) subcompartments to negatively
