An optical trap is used to stretch a red blood cell, fixed to a glass surface, along its symmetry axis by pulling on a micron-sized latex bead that is bound...

Long duration electroporation pulses can cause localized temperature rises, which result in thermotropic phase transitions within the lipid bilayer matrix of the stratum corneum...

...C. R. Calladine; J. A. Greenwood It is well-known that a “tether” may be drawn out from a pressurized liposome by means of a suitably applied radial-outward force applied locally to the lipid bilayer. The tether is a narrow, uniform cylindrical tube, which joins the main vesicle in a short...
