The use of microfluidics to make mechanical property measurements is increasingly
common. Fabrication of microfluidic devices has enabled various types of flow control and …

Liquid transfer and drop formation/deposition processes involve complex free-surface flows
including the formation of columnar necks that undergo spontaneous capillary-driven …

The quantification of cellular mechanical properties is of tremendous interest in biology and
medicine. Recent microfluidic technologies that infer cellular mechanical properties based …

A widely used method to measure the bending rigidity of bilayer membranes is fluctuation
spectroscopy, which analyses the thermally-driven membrane undulations of giant …

In this paper, we study the hydrodynamics of a vesicle doublet suspended in an external
viscous fluid flow. Vesicles in this study are modeled using the phase-field model. The …

Complex interfaces, such as vesicles and biological membranes, and interface-dominated
systems, such as foams and emulsions, are central to a vast range of naturally occurring and …

Lipid vesicles play a key role in fundamental biological processes. Despite recent progress,
we lack a complete understanding of the non-equilibrium dynamics of vesicles due to …

The general lack of knowledge on the dynamics of polymer vesicles under flow field has
confounded their applications in drug delivery and other fields. Therefore, dissipative …

In this work, we used dissipative particle dynamics to study the stability, deformation, and
rupture of polymer vesicles confined in cylindrical channels under the flow field. The …

Membrane-bound vesicles and organelles exhibit a wide array of nonspherical shapes at
equilibrium, including biconcave and tubular morphologies. Despite recent progress, the …
