Microfluidic characterization of biomimetic membrane mechanics with an on-chip micropipette

The mechanic properties of cell membranes control many biological processes. The complexity of natural membranes is often dealt with by building synthetic vesicles (Giant Unilamellar Vesicles, GUVs), which can be thought as micron-sized minimal cells. Micropipette aspiration technique is the gold st...
