Extrusion of electroformed giant unilamellar vesicles through track-etched membranes

, 2012
Unilamellar vesicle populations having a narrow size distribution and mean radius below 100 nm are preferred for drug delivery applications. In the present work, 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) was used to prepare giant unilamellar ...

Composite branched and linear F-actin maximize myosin-induced membrane shape changes in a biomimetic cell model

Communications Biology
The architecture of the actin cortex determines the generation and transmission of stresses, during key events from cell division to migration. However, its impact on myosin-induced cell shape changes remains unclear.

The study of azaphthalocyanines interactions with unilamellar liposomes I.

, 2007
Three types of different octasubstituted zinc azaphthalocyanines (ZIP-44Zn, ZIP-21Zn and ZIP-65Zn) were incorporated into liposomes made from dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC). These dyes were incorporated into LUVETs (large unilamellar vesicles made by

Rapid SNARE-Mediated Fusion of Liposomes and Chromaffin Granules with Giant Unilamellar Vesicles

, 2017
Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor activating protein receptor (SNARE) proteins are the main catalysts for membrane fusion in the secretory pathway of eukaryotic cells. In vitro, SNAREs are sufficient to mediate effective fusion of both native and
