Insights on the Interactions of Chitosan with Phospholipid Vesicles. Part II: Membrane Stiffening and Pore Formation

The interactions between the polysaccharide chitosan and phospholipids are studied using giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs). We explore both bare GUVs incubated in chitosan solution post vesicle formation and GUVs prepared using a reverse-phase method where the polymer is adsorbed on both sides of th...
