The gas vesicle is a hollow structure made of protein. It usually has the form of a cylindrical tube closed by conical end caps. Gas vesicles occur in five phyla of the Bacteria and two groups of the Archaea, but they are mostly restricted to planktonic microorganisms, in which they provide buoyancy.

Polymer–vesicle association [PDF]
Mixed polymer-surfactant systems have been intensively investigated in the last two decades, with the main focus on surfactant micelles as the surfactant aggregate in interaction. The main types of phase behavior, driving forces and structural/rheological effects at stake are now fairly well understood.

A Synthetic Vesicle-to-Vesicle Communication System [PDF]
A molecular signal displayed on the external surface of one population of vesicles was used to trigger a catalytic process on the inside of a second population of vesicles. The key recognition event is the transfer of a protein (NeutrAvidin) bound to vesicles displaying desthiobiotin to vesicles displaying biotin.

Encapsulation of Luminescent Gold Nanoclusters into Synthetic Vesicles
Gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) are attractive luminescent nanoprobes for biomedical applications. In vivo biosensing and bioimaging requires the delivery of the Au NCs into subcellular compartments. In this view, we explore here the possible encapsulation of

Hydrothermal Preparation of Faceted Vesicles Made of Span 40 and Tween 40 and Their Characterization
The Span 40 (sorbitan monooleate)/Tween 40 (polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate) system gives faceted vesicles with angular surfaces, rather than spherical vesicles.

The Effect of Buffers on Weak Acid Uptake by Vesicles
The assessment of weak acid membrane permeability (Pm) frequently involves large unilamellar vesicles. It relies on measurements of the intravesicular pH drop, ΔpHin, in response to a sudden augmentation of external acid concentration.

Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, undergoes epimastigogenesis—a critical differentiation step in which trypomastigotes transform into epimastigotes. While this process is essential for the parasite’s survival in its insect vector,

Gels Obtained by Colloidal Self-Assembly of Amphiphilic Molecules
Gelation in water-based systems can be achieved in many different ways. This review focusses on ways that are based on self-assembly, i.e., a bottom-up approach. Self-assembly naturally requires amphiphilic molecules and accordingly the systems described
