Severe dehydration of biological cells can produce large stresses and substantial strains in the membranes of some organelles. Water contents and water potentials which are critical for cellular damage in rather dry tissues may reflect a limiting stress characteristic of cell membranes. Different levels of tolerance of extreme dehydration may therefore be a result of different cellular osmotic pressures or of different stress-strain characteristics of the cellular membranes. In this paper, data from phospholipid osmotic stress measurements are used to model the stresses generated in membranes in dehydrated phases.

Equilibrium vesicles, those which are the stable form of aggregation and form spontaneously on mixing surfactant with water, have never been demonstrated in single component bilayers and only rarely in lipid or surfactant mixtures. Designing a simple and general method for producing spontaneous and stable vesicles depends on a better understanding of the thermodynamics of aggregation, the interplay of intermolecular forces in surfactants, and an efficient way of doing structural characterization in dynamic systems.
