Optimization of Giant Unilamellar Vesicle Electroformation for Phosphatidylcholine/Sphingomyelin/Cholesterol Ternary Mixtures

Optimization of Giant Unilamellar Vesicle Electroformation for Phosphatidylcholine/Sphingomyelin/Cholesterol Ternary Mixtures

Artificial vesicles are important tools in membrane research because they enable studying membrane properties in controlled conditions. Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are specially interesting due to their similarity in size to eukaryotic cells. We focus on optimization of GUV production from pho...
