Biomimetic and Cellular Membranes: Fluctuations, Shapes, Organization, Interactions
We are looking for Ph.D. applicants and Postdoctoral fellows (see possible Labcollaborations).
Chemistry and Physics of Lipids (January 2024). The first frame shows a quasi-spherical GUV prepared in water. AA (17.86μM) is added in the exterior compartment, and (a) the image is obtained approximately t = 104s. Shape changes, as observed by phase contrast microscopy, evolve from the beginning toward (b) t = 4304s and (c) t = 5463s for the same GUV. The buds remain connected to the mother GUV by a narrow membrane neck. The scale bar is 10μm and applies to all frames.
