To alter and adjust the shape of the plasma membrane, cells harness various mechanisms
of curvature generation. Many of these curvature generation mechanisms rely on the …

Specialized classes of proteins, working together in a tightly orchestrated manner, induce
and maintain highly curved cellular and organelles membrane morphology. Due to the …

At the micron scale, where cell organelles display an amazing complexity in their shape and
organization, the physical properties of a biological membrane can be better-understood …

Protein inclusions in the membranes of living cells interact via the deformations they impose
on that membrane. Such membrane-mediated interactions lead to sorting and self-assembly …

Synchronous release at neuronal synapses is accomplished by a machinery that senses
calcium influx and fuses the synaptic vesicle and plasma membranes to release …

The ability of proteins to sense and/or generate membrane curvature is crucial for many
biological processes inside the cell. We introduce a model for the binding and unbinding of …

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 …

We present the Mesoscopic Membrane with Proteins (MesM-P) model, an extension of a
previously developed elastic membrane model for mesoscale simulations of lipid …

We present an extension of the Monte Carlo based mesoscopic membrane model, where
the membrane is represented as a dynamically triangulated surface and the proteins are …

In various biological processes such as endocytosis and caveolae formation, the cell
membrane is locally deformed into curved morphologies. Previous models to study …
