Artificial Lipid Membranes: Past, Present, and Future
Membranes, 2017 The multifaceted role of biological membranes prompted early the development of artificial lipid-based models with a primary view of reconstituting the natural functions in vitro so as to study and exploit chemoreception for sensor engineering.

Imaging lipid domains in cell membranes: the advent of super-resolution fluorescence microscopy
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 The lipid bilayer of model membranes, liposomes reconstituted from cell lipids, and plasma membrane vesicles and spheres can separate into two distinct liquid phases to yield lipid domains with liquid-ordered and liquid-disordered properties.

Microplastics destabilize lipid membranes by mechanical stretching
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021 Significance The effects of plastic pollution on living organisms is a highly debated subject. There is no direct evidence of high toxicity of microplastic abundantly present in the environment.

Preparation of artificial plasma membrane mimicking vesicles with lipid asymmetry. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Lipid asymmetry, the difference in lipid distribution across the lipid bilayer, is one of the most important features of eukaryotic cellular membranes.

Membranes, 2021 Early cell membrane models placed most proteins external to lipid bilayers in trimolecular structures or as modular lipoprotein units. These thermodynamically untenable structures did not allow lipid lateral movements independent of membrane proteins ...

Membranes, 2023 The lipid membranes of living cells are composed of a large number of lipid types and can undergo phase separation with the formation of nanometer-scale liquid-ordered lipid domains, also called rafts. Raft coalescence, i.e., the fusion of lipid domains,
