Thermal fluctuations of the lipid membrane determine particle uptake into Giant Unilamellar Vesicles

Particulates, bacteria and viruses wrap into cell membranes. Here the authors use optical tweezers, particle tracking and mathematical modelling to show that the uptake process into giant vesicles is influenced by thermal membrane fluctuations.
