Liposomes are ubiquitous tools in biomedical applications, such as drug delivery,
membrane science and artificial cell. Micro-and nanofabrication techniques have …

Living cells are hugely complex chemical systems composed of a milieu of distinct chemical
species (including DNA, proteins, lipids, and metabolites) interconnected with one another …

Regulation of plasma membrane curvature and composition governs essential cellular
processes. The material property of bending rigidity describes the energetic cost of …

Biological membranes, composed mainly of phospholipids and cholesterol, play a vital role
as cellular barriers. They undergo localized reshaping in response to environmental cues …

In the field of bottom‐up synthetic biology, lipid vesicles provide an important role in the
construction of artificial cells. Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), due to their membrane's …

Micro-arrays of discrete or hemifused giant unilamellar lipid vesicles (GUVs) with
controllable spatial geometries, lattice dimensions, trapped occupancies and compositions …

Many lipid membranes of eukaryotic cells are asymmetric, which means the two leaflets
differ in at least one physical property, such as lipid composition or lateral stress …

Organization of dynamic cellular structure is crucial for a variety of cellular functions. In this
study, we report that Drosophila and Aedes have highly elastic cell membranes with …

An ultrasound‐based platform is established to prepare homogenous arrays of giant
unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) or red blood cell (RBCs), or hybrid assemblies of GUV/RBCs …

Almost all biomembranes are constructed as lipid bilayers and, in almost all of these, the two
opposing monolayers (leaflets) have distinct lipid compositions. This lipid asymmetry arises …
