Curvature fluctuations of fluid vesicles reveal hydrodynamic dissipation within the bilayer
Hammad A. Faizi, Rony Granek, Petia M. Vlahovska
The biological function of membranes is closely related to their softness, which is often studied through the membranes' thermally-driven fluctuations. The analysis commonly assume…
A vesicle microrheometer for high-throughput viscosity measurements of lipid and polymer membranes
Hammad A. Faizi, Rumiana Dimova, Petia M. Vlahovska
Viscosity is a key property of cell membranes that controls mobility of embedded proteins and membrane remodeling. Measuring it is challenging because existing approaches involve c…
Fluctuation spectroscopy of giant unilamellar vesicles using confocal and phase contrast microscopy
Hammad A. Faizi, Cody J. Reeves, Vasil N. Georgiev +2
A widely used method to measure the bending rigidity of bilayer membranes is fluctuation spectroscopy, which analyses the thermally-driven membrane undulations of giant unilamellar…
