Why Giant Vesicles

Luisi, Pier Luigi, Why Giant Vesicles , 6, 3 see also Fischer, Aline, 6, 37. 

Why should giant vesicles constitute a field of inquiry distinct from normal vesicles Size alone is not a sufficient good reason. These other reasons are the focus of the following discussion. 

Why and how do these molecules manage to assemble, within seconds, perfectly spherical double-layered aggrcgate.s The why is associated with thermodynamics, and addresses the question of why these gigantic structures, and not others, are energetically favored the how has more to do with the kinetic pathway of formation-through which intermediates and at which rates the giant vesicles form.
