ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:
We present the synthesis and multifaceted applications of Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUVs) in cellular modeling and the development of advanced materials. GUVs, known for their capacity to mimic cell membranes, are synthesized through a phase transfer method using self-assembling amphiphilic molecules that form bilayers, creating isolated environments ideal for both biological and material science experiments. In the realm of cellular modeling, GUVs are utilized to replicate complex cellular behaviors, such as enzymatic reaction networks, signal transduction, and self-division, offering a simplified yet dynamic model to explore fundamental biological processes and the mechanisms underlying cellular communication.
