This study shows light-controlled endocytosis of biomolecular condensates in giant vesicles using photoswitchable lipids, demonstrating reversible and tunable membrane-condensate interactions.

This study uses azobenzene-lipid photoswitches to manipulate membrane properties of synthetic cells using light, showing shape changes, softening, and altered electrical properties.

The paper validates that lipid diffusion reduces membrane stiffness in binary lipid mixtures by analyzing undulation relaxation in giant unilamellar vesicles.

This study shows that GM1 asymmetry in cell membranes stabilizes pores by slowing pore resealing through nanotube formation and reduced edge tension.
