Curvature is a fundamental property of biological membranes and has essential roles in
cellular function. Bending of membranes can be induced by their lipid and protein …

Over the last few decades, the spatial organization of biomembranes has received a lot of
attention. With the fluid mosaic model, Singer and Nicolson proposed that biomembranes …

Highly curved bilayer lipid membranes make up the shell of many intra-and extracellular
compartments, including organelles and vesicles. Using all-atom molecular dynamics …

Our recent coarse-grained (CG) molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of membranes with a
hemifused-ribbon (λ-shaped) geometry showed curvature-driven demixing leading to enrich …

Membrane curvature plays a crucial role in the realization of many cellular membrane
functions such as signaling and trafficking. Here, using coarse-grained molecular dynamics …

Curvature emerges as a fundamental membrane characteristic crucial for diverse biological
processes, including vesicle formation, cell signaling, and membrane trafficking …

Plasma membranes utilize free energy to maintain highly asymmetric, non-equilibrium
distributions of lipids and proteins between their two leaflets. In this review we discuss recent …

Membranes play essential roles in biological systems and are tremendously diverse in the
topologies and chemical and elastic properties that define their functions. In many cases, a …

Membrane curvature controls the spatial organization and activity of cells. Lipid sorting in
cell membranes can be explained by matching lipid molecular shape to regions of different …

Solid-supported membranes have become a common tool to study lipid membrane
properties in a controlled environment. One particular example is the study of membrane …
