Fusion and fission are two kinds of crucial cellular activities related to cell membranes.
Therefore, the studies on fusion and fission are particularly important for the understanding …

Membrane fusion is an important process by which biological membranes perform their life
activities. Simulations show that the membrane fusion process happens mainly through …

In this paper, the curvature changes and fission routes of the lipid domains in a
multicomponent vesicle are studied by dissipative particle dynamics. Under different …

Shape transformations and topological changes of lipid vesicles, such as fusion, budding,
and fission, have important chemical physical and biological significance. In this paper, we …

Biological membrane fusion is a local‐point event, extremely fast, and under strict control.
Proteins are responsible for the mutual recognition of the fusion partners and for the …

Fission is an important biological phenomenon to maintain normal functions of cells, but its
mechanism is not quite clear. In this paper, the fission behaviors of a two-component lipid …

Membrane fission is the last step of membrane carrier formation. As fusion, it is a very
common process in eukaryotic cells, and participates in the integrity and specificity of …

Membrane fusion is a vital process in key cellular events. The fusion capability of a
membrane depends on its elastic properties and varies with its lipid composition. It is …

A common mechanism for intracellular transport is the use of controlled deformations of the
membrane to create spherical or tubular buds. While the basic physical properties of …

Membrane fusion is critical to biological processes such as viral infection, endocrine
hormone secretion, and neurotransmission, yet the precise mechanistic details of the fusion …
