The role of nanowires as a support for the formation of model lipid membranes

Supported lipid bilayers are formed at a faster rate on light-guiding nanowires of high curvature than on conventional planar substrates, with single-vesicle resolution that proves their potential for studying relevant cellular phenomena. This is shown in a recent study by researchers Julia Valderas, Ruby Davtyan, Christelle Prinz, Emma Sparr, Peter Jönsson, Heiner Linke, and Fredrik Höök. “We des
