A New Method for Measuring Edge Tensions and Stability of Lipid Bilayers: Effect of Membrane Composition
Thomas Portet, Rumiana Dimova
We report a new and facile method for measuring edge tensions of lipid membranes. The approach is based on electroporation of giant unilamellar vesicles and analysis of the pore cl…
Electromediated formation of DNA complexes with cell membranes and its consequences for gene delivery
Jean-Michel Escoffre, Thomas Portet, Cyril Favard +3
Electroporation is a physical method to induce the uptake of therapeutic drugs and DNA, by eukaryotic cells and tissues. The phenomena behind electro-mediated membrane permeabiliza…
Insights into the mechanisms of electromediated gene delivery and application to the loading of giant vesicles with negatively charged macromolecules
Thomas Portet, Cyril Favard, Justin Teissié +2
We present experimental results regarding the electrotransfer of plasmid DNA into phosphatidylcholine giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs). Our observations indicate that a direct ent…
