Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) is one of the most efficient mesoscale coarse-grained
methodologies for modeling soft matter systems. Here, we comprehensively review the …

Recently, an increasing experimental effort has been devoted to the synthesis of complex
colloidal particles with chemically or physically patterned surfaces and possible specific …

Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary field that covers a vast and diverse array of devices
and machines derived from engineering, physics, materials science, chemistry and biology …

We present a model for the efficient simulation of generic bilayer membranes. Individual
lipids are represented by one head bead and two tail beads. By means of simple pair …

Polymersomes are self-assembled shells of amphiphilic block copolymers that are currently
being developed by many groups for fundamental insights into the nature of self-assembled …

Dynamin, best studied for its role in clathrin-mediated endocytosis, is the prototypical
member of a family of multidomain GTPases involved in fission and remodeling of multiple …

In this review, we focus on four current related issues in multiscale modeling of soft and
biological matter. First, we discuss how to use structural information from detailed models (or …

Phospholipids are the main components of biological membranes and dissolved in water
these molecules self-assemble into closed structures, of which bilayers are the most relevant …

The dynamics of phase separation in multicomponent bilayer fluid vesicles is investigated by
means of large-scale dissipative particle dynamics. The model explicitly accounts for solvent …

We use a coarse-grained numerical simulation to design a synthetic membrane with stable
pores that can be controllably opened and closed. Specifically, we use dissipative particle …
