Dynamic behaviour of giant unilamellar vesicles induced by the uptake of [70]fullerene.

چکیده
To obtain direct evidence for the fullerene-exchange reactions from the γ-cyclodextrin cavities to the lipid membranes following the addition of a C70·γ-cyclodextrin complex, we monitored the dynamic behaviours of the giant unilamellar vesicles. A number of C70 aggregates generated in the lipid membranes moved about vigorously.

Lipidic composite vesicles based on poly(NIPAM), chitosan or hyaluronan: behaviour under stresses
Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUVs) consisting in self-closed lipid bilayers of 0.5-100 µm diameter are considered as oversimplified models of cells because of their biological membrane and micrometric size while Large Unilamellar Vesicles (LUVs) of 100-500 nm diameter have applications in drug delivery. To improve structural and mechanical properties of these vesicles, we have developed two cate...

متن کاملPhoto-induced molecular-recognition-mediated adhesion of giant vesicles.
Few methods currently exist for controlling vesicle-vesicle adhesion. We now report a new system, based upon a multivalent guest and an amphiphilic receptor with a photo-isomerisable anchor that can be incorporated into lipid vesicles of different sizes. Large unilamellar vesicles containing our receptor were found to aggregate upon addition of the multivalent guest, independently of photoswitc...
