Abstract: We report a facile, but robust approach to fabricate structurally stable giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), on which a 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) bilayer membrane was made rigid by introducing amphiphilic block polymers. Particularly, we found that lateral… read more here.

Abstract: A macrocyclic amphiphile consisting of a thermo-responsive octaethylene glycol chain with hydrophobic aromatic and aliphatic units undergoes lateral self-assembly in a liquid-disordered-state phospholipid bilayer membrane upon heating, which further leads to vesicle budding. read more here.
