Steinkühler et al. use giant plasma membrane vesicles as a model system to study how plasma membranes respond to environmental changes, employing fluctuation spectroscopy and fluorescent probes. They show that the bending rigidity of plasma membranes vary with lipid order and microviscosity in correlated manner.
