Mitochondrial ATP synthases form dimers, which assemble into long ribbons at the rims of
the inner membrane cristae. We reconstituted detergent-purified mitochondrial ATP …

Polymer vesicles, also named polymersomes, are valuable candidates for drug delivery and
micro-or nanoreactor applications. As far as drug delivery is concerned, the shape of the …

In this paper, we review the theoretical analyses and simulations of the interactions between
curvature-inducing proteins and biomembranes. Laterally isotropic proteins induce spherical …

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthases populate the inner membranes of mitochondria,
where they produce the majority of the ATP required by the cell. From yeast to vertebrates …

To truly understand bioenergetic processes such as ATP synthesis, membrane-bound
substrate transport or flagellar rotation, systems need to be analysed in a cellular context …

SUMMARY A thin shell finite element approach based on Loop's subdivision surfaces is
proposed, capable of dealing with large deformations and anisotropic growth. To this end …

Endocytosis and exocytosis are key mechanisms in cellular systems by which a cell deforms
its plasma membrane to move substances in or out of the cell. Whereas these cellular …

A growing or compressed thin elastic sheet adhered to a rigid substrate can exhibit a
buckling instability, forming an inward hump. Our study shows that the strip morphology …

We numerically study the morphology of fluid membrane vesicles with the prescribed
volume and surface area in confinement. For spherical confinement, we observe …

The behavior of a lipid membrane on mesoscopic scales is captured unusually accurately by
its geometrical degrees of freedom. Indeed, the membrane geometry is, very often, a direct …
