Materials evaluation using cell-sized liposomes

Abstract

Cell membranes play a vital role in delineating the internal cellular environment from the external surroundings, going beyond mere compartmentalization. Researchers have delved into the structural organization, properties, and functional roles of biological membranes, paving the way for their application in substance identification, detection, and quantification. This review introduces various studies and their implications for future research. It underscores the advantages of employing cell-sized liposomes, which enable real-time observation for rapid detection and analysis of diverse materials. The utility of cell-sized liposomes extends to their size, dynamic shape changes, and phase-separation, offering valuable insights into the evaluation of targeted materials.
