The Giant Vesicle Book 1st Edition (2019) (PDF) by Rumiana Dimova

Description

Giant vesicles are widely used as a model membrane system, both for basic biological systems and for their promising applications in the development of smart materials and cell mimetics, as well as in driving new technologies in synthetic biology and for the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry. The reader is guided to use giant vesicles, from the formation of simple membrane platforms to advanced membrane and cell system models. It also includes fundamentals for understanding lipid or polymer membrane structure, properties and behavior. Every chapter includes ideas for further applications and discussions on the implications of the observed phenomena towards understanding membrane-related processes. The Giant Vesicle Book is meant to be a road companion, a trusted guide for those making their first steps in this field as well as a source of information required by experts.

User’s Reviews

Rumiana Dimova leads an experimental lab in biophysics at the Max Planck
Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam, Germany. She has been
working with giant vesicles already from the beginning of her scientific
career. After being introduced into the magic of their preparation during
her studies as a student in Bulgaria, she remained fascinated by their
application and over the years pursued a variety of projects employing
giant vesicles as a platform to develop new methods for the biophysical
characterization of membranes and processes involving them. Until now,
these studies have resulted in more than hundred peer-reviewed
publications. Recently, she was also awarded the Emmy Noether distinction
for women in physics of the European Physical Society. Carlos Marques, a
CNRS senior scientist, founded the MCube group at the Charles Sadron
Institute in Strasbourg, France, where he gears experimental and
theoretical research towards the understanding of the physical properties
of self-assembled lipid bilayers. Trained as a polymer theoretician, Carlos
first got interested in membranes because they interact with polymers and
published the first prediction for the membrane changes expected when
polymers adsorb on lipid bilayers. He then expanded the scope of his group
to include experiments and numerical simulations, and has now published
many papers based on research with giant unilamellar vesicles, including
the first study of lipid oxidation in GUVs and the discovery of the
so-called PVA method for vesicle growth.
