This article summarizes a variety of physical mechanisms proposed in the literature, which
can generate micro-and nanodomains in multicomponent lipid bilayers and biomembranes …

During its asexual development within the red blood cell (RBC), Plasmodium falciparum (Pf),
the most virulent human malaria parasite, exports proteins that modify the host RBC …

Several microscopic and mesoscale models have been introduced in the past to investigate
various phenomena in lipid membranes. Most of these models account for the solvent …

Vesiculation of mature red blood cells (RBCs) contributes to removal of defective patches of
the erythrocyte membrane. In blood disorders, which are related to defects in proteins of the …

Transient pore formation on the membrane of red blood cells (RBCs) under high mechanical
tensions is of great importance in many biomedical applications, such as RBC damage …

In recent years, extracellular vesicles have become promising carriers as next-generation
drug delivery platforms. Effective loading of exogenous cargos without compromising the …

Red blood cells (RBCs), also called erythrocytes, have been experimentally proposed in
recent decades as the biological drug delivery systems through entrapping certain drugs by …

Oxidative stress mediated clustering of membrane protein band 3 plays an essential role in
the clearance of damaged and aged red blood cells (RBCs) from the circulation. While a …

Lateral heterogeneities in biomembranes play a crucial role in various physiological
functions of the cell. Such heterogeneities lead to demixing of lipid constituents and …

The formation of dynamical clusters of proteins is ubiquitous in cellular membranes and is in
part regulated by the recycling of membrane components. We show, using stochastic …
