Effects of Lipid Composition and Solution Conditions on the Mechanical Properties of Membrane Vesicles
The mechanical properties of cell-sized giant unilamellar liposomes were studied by manipulating polystyrene beads encapsulated within the liposomes using double-beam laser tweezers. Mechanical forces were applied to the liposomes from within by moving the beads away from each other, which caused th...
