Enzymatic Glyco-Modification of Synthetic Membrane Systems
Biomolecules, 2023 The present report assesses the capability of a soluble glycosyltransferase to modify glycolipids organized in two synthetic membrane systems that are attractive models to mimic cell membranes: giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) and supported lipid ...

Reconstitution of circadian clock in synthetic cells reveals principles of timekeeping. [PDF]
Nat CommunThe cyanobacterial circadian clock maintains remarkable precision and synchrony, even in cells with femtoliter volumes. Here, we reconstitute the KaiABC post-translational oscillator (PTO) in giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) to investigate underlying ...

Giant unilamellar vesicles as a model system for studying ion transport. [PDF]
Biophys RevCellular activity depends on constant flux of ions across biological membranes. Artificial membrane models like planar lipid bilayers and liposomes are ideal for studying membrane transport phenomena as they are free of the structural complexity of cells

Advancing design strategies in smart stimulus‐responsive liposomes for drug release and nanomedicine
BMEMat, EarlyView.Schematic illustration of stimulus‐responsive liposomes designed for controlled drug release and nanomedicine. The innermost circle represents different liposomal structures, including unilamellar, multilamellar, and multivesicular liposomes. The middle layer illustrates the responsive phospholipid components.

Bottom‐up Strategies for Generating Polymer Protocells That Mimic Cellular Communication
Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.This review focuses on polymeric protocells produced using a bottom‐up approach. Polymer‐based assemblies guarantee stability and designability by adjusting the properties of the amphiphilic copolymers used. The review covers protocell architectures, production, and their intra‐ and intercellular communication mechanisms.
