Ever since the raft model for biomembranes has been proposed, the traditional view of
biomembranes based on the fluid-mosaic model has been altered. In the raft model …

Traditional particle-based simulation strategies are impractical for the study of lipid bilayers
and biological membranes over the longest length and time scales (microns, seconds and …

We investigate isothermal diffusion and growth of micron-scale liquid domains within
membranes of free-floating giant unilamellar vesicles with diameters between 80 and 250 …

We used computer simulations to study the effect of phase separation on the properties of
lipid monolayers. This is important for understanding the lipid–lipid interactions underlying …

Phase separation of multicomponent lipid membranes is characterized by the nucleation
and coarsening of circular membrane domains that grow slowly in time as∼ t 1/3, following …

A two-phase Newtonian surface fluid is modelled as a surface Cahn–Hilliard–Navier–Stokes
equation using a stream function formulation. This allows one to circumvent the subtleties in …

We discuss hydrodynamic forces acting on a two-dimensional liquid domain that moves
laterally within a supported fluid membrane in the presence of odd viscosity. Since active …

The formation of domains in multicomponent lipid mixtures has been suggested to play a
role in moderating signal transduction in cells. Understanding how domain size may be …

We present a stochastic phase-field model for multicomponent lipid bilayers that explicitly
accounts for the quasi-two-dimensional hydrodynamic environment unique to a thin fluid …

The formation and dynamics of spatially extended compositional domains in
multicomponent lipid membranes lie at the heart of many important biological and …
