The quest to design and fabricate new antibacterial surfaces is an important task to meet the
urgent demands of biomedical applications. Recently, a mechanical mechanism for killing …

We present a quantitative thermodynamic model to elucidate the effects of a nanopatterned
surface on bacterial adhesion. Based on the established model, we studied the equilibrium …

Controlling and manipulating protein behavior at an interface is of immense relevance to a
broad range of physicochemical and biological phenomena and technological processes …

Augmenting contact lenses with sensing capabilities requires incorporating multiple
functionalities within a diminutive device. Inspired by multifunctional biophotonic …

The bacterial cytoskeleton guides the synthesis of cell wall and thus regulates cell shape.
Because spatial patterning of the bacterial cytoskeleton is critical to the proper control of cell …

We study the time evolution of the shape of a vesicle membrane under time-dependent
spontaneous curvature by means of phase-field model. We introduce the variation in time of …

The activation of T cells, key players of the immune system, involves local evacuation of
phosphatase CD45 from a region of the T cell's surface, segregating it from the T cell …

On the surface of T Cells, large transmembrane molecules such as CD45 are distributed
across the surface. However, during engagement with antigen-presenting cells, these …

We propose a model for the dynamics of the formation of rings of FtsZ on tubular liposomes
which produce constriction on the corresponding membrane. Our phase-field model is …

We propose a model for the dynamics of the formation of rings of FtsZ on tubular liposomes
