Phase Transition and dissipation driven budding in lipid vesicles
Thomas Franke, Christian T. Leirer, Achim Wixforth +2
Membrane budding has been extensively studied as an equilibrium process attributed to the formation of coexisting domains or changes in the vesicle area to volume ratio (reduced vo…
Thermodynamic Relaxation Drives Expulsion in Giant Unilamellar Vesicles
C. T. Leirer, B. Wunderlich, A. Wixforth +1
We investigated the thermodynamic relaxation of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) which contained small vesicles within their interior. Quenching these vesicles from their fluid ph…
Phase Transition Induced Fission in Lipid Vesicles
C. Leirer, B. Wunderlich, V. M. Myles +1
In this work we demonstrate how the first order phase transition in giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) can function as a trigger for membrane fission. When driven through their gel-…
