The cell, as the most fundamental unit of life, is a microcosm of biology in which the
confluence of nearly all aspects of classical physics (mechanics, statistical physics …

Cell deformability plays an important role in cellular processes and functions, including cell
growth and differentiation, as well as cell transfer and cell cycle. Measuring deformability at …

The present review focuses on the effects of pulsed electric fields on lipid vesicles ranging
from giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) to small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs), from both …

The understanding obtained by studies on the electrohydrodynamics (EHD) of single giant
unilamellar vesicles (sGUVs) has contributed significantly towards a better comprehension …

Vesicles perform many essential functions in all living organisms. They respond like a
transducer to mechanical stress in converting the applied force into mechanical and …

We study the role of a biomimetic actin network during the application of electric pulses that
induce electroporation or electropermeabilization, using giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) …

In this work, the effect of extra-cellular conductivity on electroporation-mediated molecular
delivery efficiency is investigated. A numerical model combining the Smoluchowski equation …

Theoretical analysis and experimental quantification on the ellipsoidal relaxation of vesicles
are presented. The current work reveals the simplicity and universal aspects of this process …

Using fast imaging microscopy, we investigate in detail the expansion of micron-sized pores
occurring in individual electroporated giant unilamellar vesicles composed of the …

Solid-state nanopores have been widely used in the past for single-particle analysis of
nanoparticles, liposomes, exosomes and viruses. The shape of soft particles, particularly …
