Journal ArticleDOI
Gel-Assisted Formation of Giant Unilamellar Vesicles
Andreas Weinberger,Feng-Ching Tsai,Gijsje H. Koenderink,Thaís F. Schmidt,Rosângela Itri,Wolfgang Meier,Tatiana Schmatko,André P. Schroder,Carlos M. Marques +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that a wide variety of lipids or lipid mixtures can grow into GUVs by swelling lipid precursor films on top of a dried polyvinyl alcohol gel surface in a swelling buffer that can contain diverse biorelevant molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanoplasmonic Sensor Detects Preferential Binding of IRSp53 to Negative Membrane Curvature.
Gustav Emilsson,Evelyn Röder,Bita Malekian,Kunli Xiong,John Manzi,Feng-Ching Tsai,Nam-Joon Cho,Marta Bally,Andreas B. Dahlin +8 more
TL;DR: This work shows the first example of analyzing preferential binding of an average-sized and biologically important protein to negative membrane curvature in a label-free manner and in real-time, illustrating a unique application for nanoplasmonic sensors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Encapsulation of active cytoskeletal protein networks in cell-sized liposomes.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cytoskeletal actin-myosin networks can be encapsulated with high efficiency in giant liposomes by hydration of lipids in an agarose hydrogel and can be specifically anchored to the membrane by biotin-streptavidin linkages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell-sized liposomes reveal how actomyosin cortical tension drives shape change
Kevin Carvalho,Kevin Carvalho,Feng-Ching Tsai,Edouard Lees,Edouard Lees,Raphaël Voituriez,Raphaël Voituriez,Gijsje H. Koenderink,Cécile Sykes,Cécile Sykes +9 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that cells must precisely control their contractility to remain intact during cellular events, and propose a physical model based on a balance of active tension and mechanical resistance to rupture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Membrane curvature induces cardiolipin sorting
Elena Beltrán-Heredia,Feng-Ching Tsai,Samuel Salinas-Almaguer,Francisco J. Cao,Francisco J. Cao,Patricia Bassereau,Patricia Bassereau,Francisco Monroy,Francisco Monroy +8 more
TL;DR: The role of cardiolipin is examined, finding evidence compatible with a model of membrane elasticity including van der Waals entropy, from which a negative intrinsic curvature of −1.1 nm−1 is predicted for CL.
