Osmophoresis of lipid vesicles in solute gradients
Lipid membranes are semipermeable, allowing for water transport across the membrane but rejecting polar solutes and large molecules. Differences in solute concentrations across a lipid membrane lead to differences in the osmotic pressure Δπ causing water to flow towards regions of higher osmotic pr...
