Journal ArticleDOI
Fluctuations and destabilization of single phospholipid bilayers.
TL;DR: The authors showed that this well-controlled single bilayer can form vesicles and studied the effect of the electric field at the molecular length scale by neutron reflectivity to give further understanding on the vesicle formation mechanism and on the parameters that determine the vESicle size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brownian motion meets Riemann curvature
TL;DR: In this paper, the curvature effects appearing on brownian motion over a d-dimensional curved manifold are explored in terms of invariants that depend on the Riemann curvature tensor, and a general formula for the mean square geodesic distance (MSD) at the short-time regime is derived.
Journal ArticleDOI
Densely stacked multilamellar and oligovesicular vesicles, bilayer cylinders, and tubes joining with vesicles of a salt-free catanionic extractant and surfactant system.
TL;DR: This is the first time that birefringent Lalpha phase with remarkably deformed amphiphilic bilayer membranes has been constructed through combining a hydrophobic organic extractant having double chains with a water-soluble surfactant having a single chain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Avoiding failed reconstitution of ultradeformable liposomes upon dehydration.
TL;DR: Results indicated that the 27% mole sodium cholate within the UDL lipid matrix was responsible for a greater and differential mechanical sensitivity of the bilayers to the different dehydration stress, as compared to conventional liposomes.

Initiation and dynamics of hemifusion in lipid bilayers.
Guy Hed,Samuel A. Safran +1 more
TL;DR: This work predicts theoretically the initiation of hemifusion by stalk expansion and the dynamics of mesoscopic hemifusions diaphragm expansion in the light of recent experiments and theory that suggested that hem ifusion is driven by intramembrane tension far from the fusion zone.
