Abstract: Fusogenic liposomes have been widely used for molecule delivery to cell membranes and cell interior. However, their physicochemical state is still little understood. We tested mechanical material behavior by micropipette aspiration of giant vesicles from… read more here.

Abstract: Mixtures of the zwitterionic surfactant TDMAO and the anionic surfactant LiPFOS spontaneously self-assemble into well defined vesicles. The size of these vesicles is determined by the ratio of bending rigidity and line tension. By partially… read more here.
