Summary:
S. Majd and co-workers report a simple approach for the preparation of cell-sized liposomes with integral membrane proteins on page 6834. In this approach, hydrogel-stamped lipid/protein deposits grow, upon application of an AC electric field, into giant liposomes of controlled size and composition. The resulting vesicles can be applied in membrane and protein studies as well as in biotechnology.
