Research Abstract |
In this study, we developed a method that allows formation of a uniform-size giant unilamellar liposome array. Microfabrication technologies and an electrospray technique enabled precise patterning of lipids on a substrate; with a simple hydration process of the lipid pattern, we succeeded in highly reproducible giant liposome array formation with a narrow range of size distribution. The formed liposomes were well suitable for model cell membrane studies. We further developed manipulation devices for the liposomes based on dielectrophoresis phenomena.
