The plasma membrane (PM) comprises a lipid bilayer composed of two leaflets with distinct lipid compositions, commonly described as an asymmetric bilayer. Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a negatively charged lipid retained in the inner leaflet of the PM in healthy cells. Exposing the lipid PS to the exoplasmic leaflet leads to a cascade of events that signal apoptosis. Cancer cells also displa…
The plasma membrane is asymmetric in terms of lipid composition, meaning that the inner and the outer leaflets have different mixtures of lipids. With the advance of new methods and techniques, asymmetric lipid bilayers can be created in vitro, with controlled compositions. Here, we propose to explore the potential of creating asymmetric giant unilamellar vesicles (aGUVs) using the hemif…
