Effect of leaflet asymmetry on the stretching elasticity of lipid bilayers with phosphatidic acid

This study examines how lipid asymmetry affects membrane elasticity in GUVs, finding that asymmetric membranes are less stretchable than symmetric ones and that oil impurities alter membrane thickness and interleaflet coupling.

The interplay between proton diffusion across biological membranes and their biophysical properties highlights the role of defects in mixed lipid membranes

This study examines how mixed lipid membrane composition affects proton transfer properties, finding that defects in the membrane structure influence proton diffusion and geminate recombination.

Investigation of nano- and micro-domains formed by ceramide-1-phosphate in freestanding lipid bilayers

The paper introduces a new technique to study lipid domains in artificial vesicles and quantitatively describes ceramide-1-phosphate-induced domains at nano and microscales.
