We propose that the first step in the origin of cellular life on Earth was the self-assembly of fatty acids with the building blocks of RNA and protein, resulting in a stable aggregate. This scheme provides explanations for the selection and concentr

Light-triggered unique shape transformation of calcein-loaded giant polymersomes with tubular protrusions, which serve as a reservoir membrane area during the shape transformation, is reported here. Under irradiation at the excitation wavelength of c

In cell membranes, the functional constituents such as peptides, proteins, and polysaccharides diffuse in a sea of lipids as single molecules and molecular aggregates. Thus, the fluidity of the heterogeneous multicomponent membrane is important for u

Carbon dioxide (CO2) movement across cellular membranes is passive and governed by Fick's law of diffusion. Until recently, we believed that gases cross biological membranes exclusively by dissolving in and then diffusing through membrane lipid. Howe

Determining the permeability of lipid membranes to gases is important for understanding the biological mechanisms of gas transport. Experiments on model membranes have been used to determine the permeability of lipid bilayers in the absence of protei

Primordial cells presumably combined RNAs, which functioned as catalysts and carriers of genetic information, with an encapsulating membrane of aggregated amphiphilic molecules. Major questions regarding this hypothesis include how the four bases and
Giant unilamellar vesicles are a powerful and common tool employed in biophysical studies of lipid membranes. Here we evaluate a recently introduced method of vesicle formation, "continuous droplet interface crossing encapsulation" (cDICE). This meth
