Abstract | Controlled poration of lipid membranes is crucial for numerous biomimetic applications such as targeted drug delivery. Although several chemical and physical mechanisms have been proposed for the poration of synthetic membranes, achieving good temporal and spatial control remains a challenge. In this study, we introduce a novel method for membrane poration that utilizes the mechanical shockwave generated by the photo-acoustic effect, which occurs when an optically opaque microparticle is illuminated by a near-infrared laser of optical tweezers. We show that the shockwave effectively porates membranes of giant unilamellar vesicles in close proximity to the microparticle without damaging nearby cells, which is a desirable outcome for potential targeted drug delivery. The poration effect is nonspecific and operates on both liquid and gel phase membranes. Since the photo-acoustic effect can be triggered by standard optical tweezers, this method holds broad applicability in various experimental settings within the field of soft matter research. |
