The stiffness of biological membranes determines the work required by cellular machinery to
form and dismantle vesicles and other lipidic shapes. Model membrane stiffness can be …

Membrane undulations play a vital role in many biological processes, including the
regulation of membrane protein activity. The asymmetric lipid composition of most biological …

Biological membranes constantly change their shape in response to external stimuli, and
understanding the remodeling and stability of vesicles in heterogeneous environments is …

We report a combined dynamic light scattering (DLS) and neutron spin-echo (NSE) study on
the local bilayer undulation dynamics of phospholipid vesicles composed of 1, 2-dimyristoyl …

Multicomponent lipid vesicles are commonly used as a model system for the complex
plasma membrane. One phenomenon that is studied using such model systems is phase …

We report a combined dynamic light scattering and neutron spin-echo study on vesicles
composed of the uncharged stabilizing lipid 1, 2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3 …

Accumulating evidence indicates that membrane reshaping and fusion processes, as well
as regulation of membrane protein function, depend on lipid composition. Although it is …

Viscosity is a key mechanical property of cell membranes that controls time-dependent
processes such as membrane deformation and diffusion of embedded inclusions. Despite its …

Biological membranes are known to contain compositional heterogeneities, often termed
rafts, with distinguishable composition and function, and these heterogeneities participate in …

We show theoretically that the behavior of a unilamellar liposome in response to a
phospholipid transmembrane redistribution depends on the characteristic size of the …
